How to Feed a Dictator: Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin, Enver Hoxha, Fidel Castro, and Pol Pot Through the Eyes of Their Cooks by Witold Szabłowski
4.0
This book provides a different perspective about some very nasty people.
Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein and co all ruled through fear and violence but they also had staff, including chefs. Witold Szablowski has interviewed the chefs of these dictators to get a 'behind the scenes' view of what it was like to work so close to the head of these regimes.
Some chefs have admiration for their former bosses and others only stayed through fear but their stories are unique and insightful.
If you are after something different - this book is a great place to start.
