Abstract
This article briefly reviews the life histories of five recent bloodthirsty leaders to discern shared features of their early childhoods and their cultures related to this trait. Three features of societies that foster transformation of widespread latent into manifest bloodthirstiness are noted. Two areas especially warranting further study are the contributions of genetic-organic factors and the relation of this trait to the power drive.
