About
The Most Evil Dictators in History reveals 15 profiles of dictators who have committed some of the most infamous atrocities ever witnessed. While not all dictators can be termed 'evil' the very nature of their regimes suggests inherent corruption and the stories told here show how they have used their power to torture, kill, maim and eradicate millions of people. It provides a chilling insight into some of the most inhuman acts of all time as well as a fascinating study of the corrupting effects of 'absolute power'
