Fallen Idols by Alex von Tunzelmann
4.0
Relevant, clever, and actually fun.
Accessible and informative, but could hold its own against more scholarly books (like others by the same author).
The section on Saddam Hussein and the hyper reality if the Baghdad statue toppling is brilliant. And the Stalin and Lenin taken together are especially good.
BUT needs photos, and lots of them included. Would have been really helpful, as found myself googling while reading. Maybe with cheaper production costs for the paperback edition this extra work can be included.
