About Michel Cahier
Expertise
I am a French amateur historian in German history between 1918 and 1945, particularly with regard to the Nazi era, Hitler's character and the occupation of Europe. I live in Texas since 1998 with my American wife and I am a retired journalist. I am 63 years old.

Experience
I have worked on the subject of Nazism since college and since I retired I developed a complete site with more than 60 chapters devoted to different aspects of the Nazi era. I have developed too a special interest in Nazi Art and the treatment of art by the Nazis. My site had about 2000 hits per week and is very well considered. I would be glad to help some people who have very precise questions about Hitler and the Nazis. My site can be consulted at http://schikelgruber.net/index.html. Needless to say that I am not a supporter of the Nazis and never in this site do I attempt to justify or excuse their policies.

Organizations
I used to work for the Agence France Presse, La Tribune, TV Channel France 3 and as the Editor of the Agence Economique et Financiere. I was in position in Brussels, London and Paris.

Publications
I published a book about the entrepreneurs and the motives for creating a company in the 80s and a book about the Franco-Swiss jeweller Philippe Charriol in the 90s

Education/Credentials
I graduated in Law and Political Sciences, I have a MBA from the Paris Chamber of commerce and I have a license of massage therapy (RMT) of the State of Texas

Expert: Michel Cahier - 10/27/2009

Question
I've been trying to find some good places to learn about the effects of autocracy in places such as China. Please help me find some good sites...

Answer
hello
one precision  : china is not really an autocracy  but a communist plutocracy, of  course  we can argue about  that  but the government is assumed  by the Communist party and  his central committe
autocracy is a government in which one person has absolute power; dictatorship; despotism
autocracry is the  regime of a one-dictator  rule generally in Africa, Arab countries and  Latin America or some countries of SE Asia
autocracy can  be assimilated to theocracy in which one supreme  religious leaser  has all powers like Iran and Tibet before  chinese invasion
here  are some  sites :
