I recently read "Crazy Stuff Dictators Do: Insane But True Stories You Won't Believe Actually Happened" and found it to be an intriguing yet unsettling read. With each page, I found myself discovering more outrageous tales of dictatorships that left me with a strong understanding of their power and authority.
The book's bold formatting helps bring attention to the many incredible shots fired by these figures in history. It covered some truly remarkable events such as Mao feeding China's red ants explosives only for them to make a giant tower out of the concrete-like substance formed afterwards! Thankfully, this is just one crazed example among many that were featured in this book.
If you're interested in gaining insight into the tumultuous pasts different nations have experienced due largely to powerful individuals, then Crazy Stuff Dictators Do is definitely worth picking up!
