Cult of Personality by U.S. Army (book)

"Cult of Personality" by the U.S. Army is a detailed analysis of how a leader’s charisma, reputation, and propaganda can shape public perception and influence military and political power. It explores how leaders in history—like dictators or prominent figures—use emotional appeal and media to foster loyalty, sometimes at the expense of critical thinking or accountability. The book examines the psychological and societal effects of this phenomenon, highlighting both the dangers and the strategic use of personality cultivation in leadership, particularly within the context of military and political environments.
