Als in der Schlussphase des Zweiten Weltkriegs die Schreckensherrschaft der Nationalsozialisten ihrem Ende zuging, mündete der Wahn der Eliten des Regimes auch in selbstzerstörerischer Gewalt, wie die große Zahl von Suiziden unter den NS-Führern dokumentiert.Überall dort, wo das Elend des Krieges die Bevölkerung erfasste, kam es zu Selbstmorden unter Angehörigen der NS-Führungsschicht - als Ausdruck ihrer eigenen Endzeitstimmung. Nicht nur Hitler und seine Handlanger flüchteten durch Selbstmord vor der Verantwortung für ihre Taten, sondern auch eine ganze Reihe weiterer prominenter NS-Funktionäre, die Europa und die Welt noch kurz zuvor in Angst und Schrecken versetzt hatten. 1945 sollte die Choreographie eines geschichtsträchtigen Kollektivuntergangs den illusionär gewordenen »Endsieg« ersetzen. Der Freitod der Eliten war ein Teil dieser Inszenierung.

That the Roman republic died is a commonplace often repeated. In extant literature, the notion is first given form in the works of the orator Cicero (106-43 BCE) and his contemporaries, though the scattered fragments of orators and historians from the earlier republic suggest that the idea was hardly new. In speeches, letters, philosophical tracts, poems, and histories, Cicero and his peers obsessed over the illnesses, disfigurements, and deaths that were imagined to have beset their body politic, portraying rivals as horrific diseases or accusing opponents of butchering and even murdering the state. Body-political imagery had long enjoyed popularity among Greek authors, but these earlier images appear muted in comparison and it is only in the republic that the body first becomes fully articulated as a means for imagining the political community. In the works of republican authors is found a state endowed with nervi, blood, breath, limbs, and organs; a body beaten, wounded, disfigured, and infected; one with scars, hopes, desires, and fears; that can die, be killed, or kill in turn. Such images have often been discussed in isolation, yet this is the first book to offer a sustained examination of republican imagery of the body politic, with particular emphasis on the use of bodily-political images as tools of persuasion and the impact they exerted on the politics of Rome in the first century BCE
