Now I can conquer the world! This book has all you need to know, from handy hints to must-dos to charismatic leaders such as Stalin and Hitler to go by. After all, who wouldn't want to rule the world in the likes of Hitler for a role model?
Thank you, Andre de Guillaume, whoever you are, for writing this book and granting me the knowledge to stage my own coup. Goodbye, Rudd, I shall be taking your position now.

This book is pretty darn funny. I think the title is self-explanatory. There are mini-bios of famous dictators scattered throughout the book.
Look out world! I'm coming for you!!
A very useful how-to guide :-)
Funny. Quick Read.
This book is a funny and interesting handbook for all of us who dream of world domination ( or for those who are still thinking about it). It's a small book but worth a read. See if you have the makings of a dictator! :) one of the best christmas presents I ever received.
Woeful book. in dire need of a fact check and edit. For instance the author says 'make your horse a Consul, like Nero'. It was Caligula. Before that passage the book was bad, afterwards even more so. The phone book is more interesting than this drivel.
Bought this for my husband-it's one of his favorite books. I learned I am the "entertainer wife," that so many dictators have-which wasn't news to me-but the description was hilarious.
This is my handbook for life. A must read for aspiring dictators!
Hilarious and Funny
