Summary: Disgusting
Review: Although I do not have a weak stomach, this book is one of the most disgusting books I have ever read. Especially the chapters on Mao Tse-tung and Hitler are repellent. The chapter on Mussolini is the only one that has some "funny" passages. Il Duce "rarely bothered with a bed, preferring to do it on the floor or against the edge of his desk. The act was perfunctory. He would not bother to take off his trousers or his shoes. The whole thing would be over in a minute or two." The book starts with Napoleon and ends with Saddam 'Abu Ali' Hussein. In stead of this book, I would recommend Cawthorne's "Sex Lives of the Kings and Queens of England". Compared with the dictators, those Kings were decent men!

Summary: Adds new meaning to men of power.
Review: Did you ever picture Hitler as a great lover? Think of napoleon has someone women swooned over? Imagine Castro as a playboy? Well then you might want to take the time and read Nigel Cawthorne's Sex Lives of the Great Dictators. Take a look at what men of power did to make women come at their beckon call. See how the powerful and ruthless tyrants controlled the fairer sex. Read about the exploits of those who ruled with an iron fist, but in private were all together different. Men like Saddam Hussein, Marcos, Castro, Idi Amin, Napoleon, Lenin and others are all included in a tantalizing, alluring and yet some how romantic set of stories. Cawthorne continues his success of Sex lives books with this installment. Trafalgar Square Book's website is a wonderful collection of this and so many other books. It is easy to navigate and you'll be sure to find something to appeal to your taste. This book, like other in the series, is priced to fit most budgets and overall this would make a good gift.
