Rulers, from military leaders to democratic presidents, often engage in self-justification to reinforce their authority. This insightful survey explores how governments invest considerable effort in shaping their identities, not primarily to persuade the public but to bolster their own self-esteem. Drawing on interdisciplinary research from political science, history, and sociology, it reveals the underlying motivations behind the actions of those in power and their need for validation.
