 DOLLFUSS: An Austrian Patriot, by Fr Johannes Messner
Dollfuss was one of the few political leaders of the day who saw with matchless clarity the evil of the National Socialist philosophy and who, in spite of the weakness of his country, which had been largely dismembered in the wake of World War I, became a new David confronting a new Goliath, Adolf Hitler.
Dollfuss was much loved by those who understood that he was their friend: as a Catholic, as an Austrian patriot, as one of "them." But his very goodness and his political clear- sightedness were bound to trigger the hatred of those who had endorsed evil causes: be it National Socialism, Communism, or Liberalism.
Dollfuss, the modern David, knew that he was fighting a Goliath, but, like the man who was to become a great king to his people, he put all his confidence in God and used all the means at his disposal to save his country from the severe crises which confronted it during his brief Chancellorship.

The "Dollfuss" mentioned on the profil cover is Engelbert Dollfuss, who began as a duly-elected Austrian Chancellor (I believe in 1932, but I don't have time to open books) but who ended as a dictator after he pretty much tossed-out the Parliamentary system, making use of a significant flaw in the constitution.
Dollfuss was not one of them, though he constantly had to contend with them because often the right-left struggle meant appeasing other factions on the right.
Dollfuss did not leap gleefully into ruthless action, as was the image portrayed of him ever afterwards in left-wing demonology.

From his early years in the University, Engelbert Dollfuss was attempting to salvage what he could of the national heritage by uniting in a common cause what he considered to be the best elements in his nation, young Catholic intellectuals in the universities, farmers, and common workers in the trades.
Having not yet completed his studies at the University, Dollfuss obtained his first significant post in the Lower Austrian Peasants' Union, in which he attempted to organize the peasants to protect them against the inroads of Marxism and to begin a corporative reconstruction of Austrian rural life.
What Engelbert Dollfuss realized was that the only way that you can confront and, finally, overcome militant ideologies, which present a systematic and comprehensive view of the world for their adherence (e.g., National Socialism and Marxism), is to formulate an equally coherent and systematic system of thought, which would be both comprehensive and practical.
