The Genocidal Mentality: Philip II of Spain and Sultan Abdul Hamid II.
Kuttner, Robert E.
Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v16 n1 p35-42 1985-86
Historical comparison of Sultan Abdul Hamid of Turkey and King Philip II of Spain with Adolph Hitler revealed similar personality traits, possibly characteristic determinants of individuals prone to undertake genocidal measures. Commitment to bureaucratic detail coupled with opportunistic belief in Messianic destiny are key factors in these absolute rulers. (Author/NRB)
