Notes

General Note
"Originally published in Polish as Jak nakarmiڳc dyktatora by Grupa Wydawnicza Foksal, Warsaw."--Title page verso.
Description
"Traveling across four continents, from the ruins of Iraq to the savannahs of Kenya, Witold Szabچowski tracked down the personal chefs of five dictators known for the oppression and massacre of their own citizens: Iraq's Saddam Hussein, Uganda's Idi Amin, Albania's Enver Hoxha, Cuba's Fidel Castro, and Cambodia's Pol Pot-and listened to their stories over sweet-and-sour soup, goat-meat pilaf, bottles of rum, and games of gin rummy. Dishy, deliciously readable, and dead serious, How to Feed a Dictator provides a knife's-edge view of what it was like to be behind the scenes at some of the turning points of the last century"--,Provided by publisher.
