Description

Dictators may be among the worst people in history, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't laugh at them.

In My Favourite Dictators, Chris Mikul tells the stories of eleven of the twentieth century's most colourful and reviled human beings, including Benito Mussolini, Mao Zedong, Muammar Gaddafi, Idiamin, Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong-il.

In each case, he examines the political backgrounds to their rise to power and eventual downfall, but the focus here is on the personalities, peculiarities and private lives of these very strange men.

You'll be amazed and appalled by their effortless cruelties, voracious sexual appetites, absurd personality cults, ostentatious uniforms, promotion of dreadful art and pretensions to being great writers not to mention their terrible taste in interior decoration.
