I strongly recommend:
The Dictator's Handbook
Why Bad Behavior is Almost Always Good Politics
Santa (my son) got it for me for Christmas and I'm only half way through.
The main thrust is really simple:

If you have power and want to keep it, there are things you have to do, mostly nasty.
If you don't want power, you can complain and remain impotent.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
