LASSWELL, Harold D. and LERNER, Daniel. [editors] World Revolutionary Elites. Studies in Coercive Ideological Movements

[From the cover] This book "presents studies in depth of four classic political uprisings of our time and of the elites who led them: the Politburo in Russia, the Fascists in Italy, the Nazis in Germany, the Kuomintang and Communists in China. In each study, the authors examine the background and character of the revolutionary elites, the conditions in each country that spawned the rebellion, and the ideological means by which these elites achieved and held power"
