A look from within the kitchen at the appetites of five of the twentieth century's most infamous dictators, by the author of Dancing Bears.
What The Reviewers Say
Szablowski is most interested in the confounding contradictions that make us human.
... lively.
...anecdotal and easy-going.
Szablowski’s entertaining book about the chefs of five murderous dictators never quite escapes the realm of whimsy. Szablowski has travelled the world seeking out the chefs of despots. He lets them speak for themselves in narratives that run for pages at a time.
