How World War II Established the Precedent for Absolute Power

World War II did not end with justice. It ended with immunity deals, absorbed perpetrators, and a template for what governments do when no one is watching. From Unit 731 to Operation Paperclip, from Dresden to the Golden Triangle - Volume 1 documents how unchecked authority became normal.

Absolute Power: The Template is Volume 1 of the Absolute Power trilogy - investigative narrative nonfiction for readers of Tim Weiner, Annie Jacobsen, and Alfred McCoy. Every major claim sourced. Speculative sections labeled. Angry but controlled.
