A Book of the Year for The Times and the Sunday Times `The writer
is the engineer of the human soul,' claimed Stalin. Although one
wonders how many found nourishment in Turkmenbashi's Book of the
Soul (once required reading for driving tests in Turkmenistan), not
to mention Stalin's own poetry. Certainly, to be considered great,
a dictator must write, and write a lot. Mao had his Little Red
Book, Mussolini and Saddam Hussein their romance novels, Kim
Jong-il his treatise on the art of film, Hitler his hate-filled
tracts. What do these texts reveal about their authors, the worst
people imaginable? And how did they shape twentieth-century
history? To find out, Daniel Kalder read them all - the badly
written and the astonishingly badly written - so that you don't
have to. This is the untold history of books so terrible they
should have been crimes.
