Dictatorland: the Men who stole Africa book by Paul Kenyon
By Paul KenyonThis is a breathtaking account of how a handful of men were handed a continent of rich lands and poor people. How they became tyrants overnight and turned their countries into cruel kleptocracies. How they ransacked their treasuries to make billion-pound fortunes, and lived in unimaginable luxury while their people often starved.
MICHAEL BUERK
‘Mr Kenyon narrates a jaw-dropping tale of greed, corruption and brutality.
FREDRICK FORSYTH
‘The stories it tells of dictators such as Robert Mugabe and Muammar Gaddafi are grimly fascinating and leave the readers to ponder why so many African liberators heroes turned into villains.
FINANCIAL TIMES
‘It is the minute observations that make Mr Kenyon's book so hard to put down.
ECONOMIST
‘Dictatorland is a humane, timely, accessible and well-researched book that shines a light on urgent African issues that can no longer be dismissed as merely somewhere else's problem.
