Four writers. Four dictators. One world, changed out of all recognition. ENGINEERS OF HUMAN SOULS is an intimate and shocking shadow history of creative vanity in a time that turned writers - once the faithful servants of authority - into figures of political consequence. Maurice Barrès, who first wielded the politics of identity. Gabriele D'Annunzio, whose poetry became a blueprint for fascism. Maxim Gorky, dramatist of the working class and Stalin's cheerleader. The Maoist Ding Ling, whose stories exculpated the regime that kept her imprisoned.

An interesting book - I knew the stories of D'Annuzio and Gorky already. The others were new to me. Still, because he's giving us four condensed lives in a single short book inevitably the observations are somewhat superficial and obvious. Still, it's a fun enough read and I recommend. Very well narrated.
