    About this ebook

    Hitler or Stalin are the names that instantly strike us when
    spoken of the word dictator. Cruel and horrible are what you
    can say about them. Well, they weren't the only ones. There
    have been many that have subjected their people to living in
    an austere environment and were subject to extreme
    punishments if their rules were broken. The punishments
    usually led to torturous death.
    Countries that are under dictators are normally exposed to
    extreme poverty, exploitive administrations, and unceasing
    defilement of their basic human rights. People standing for their
    rights are brutally murdered and set an example to the public
    to see what could happen to them if they go against their
    leader.
    This comprises of some of the most powerful dictators that
    have ruled in the past while some of them are still in power,
    as this Book is being written.

      Preface

      Hitler or Stalin are the names that instantly strike us when spoken of the word dictator. Cruel and horrible are what you can say about them. Well, they weren’t the only ones. There have been many that have subjected their people to living in an austere environment and were subject to extreme punishments if their rules were broken. The punishments usually led to torturous death.

      Countries that are under dictators are normally exposed to extreme poverty, exploitive administrations, and unceasing defilement of their basic human rights. People standing for their rights are brutally murdered and set an example to the public to see what could happen to them if they go against their leader.

      This comprises of some of the most powerful dictators that have ruled in the past while some of them are still in power, as this Book is being written.

      Introduction
