nAmazing stories . . . Intimate portraits of how these five ruthless leaders] were at home and at the table. --Lulu Garcia-Navarro, NPRs Weekend Edition Sunday nAnthony Bourdain meets Kapuściński in this chilling look from within the kitchen at the appetites of five of the twentieth centurys most infamous dictators, by the acclaimed author of Dancing Bears. n nWhat was Pol Pot eating while two million Cambodians were dying of hunger? Did Idi Amin really eat human flesh? And why was Fidel Castro obsessed with one particular cow? n n Traveling across four continents, from the ruins of Iraq to the savannahs of Kenya, Witold Szablowski tracked down the personal chefs of five dictators known for the oppression and massacre of their own citizens--Iraqs Saddam Hussein, Ugandas Idi Amin, Albanias Enver Hoxha, Cubas Fidel Castro, and Cambodias 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 knifes-edge view of life under tyranny.n
