Description
The dark underbelly of African politics is revealed in this gripping account of the men who have ruled with an iron fist. From the cocoa-wealthy dictator who built a 35-storey-high basilica, to the paranoid despot who thought Hitler was the saviour of Africa, and the Libyan army officer who ran his country like a mafia family business, this book exposes the shocking secrets of Western complicity and the insatiable appetite for wealth and power that has driven these leaders to rule with terror and oppression.
