How to Feed a Dictator: Saddam Hussein, IDI Amin, Enver Hoxha, Fidel Castro, and Pol Pot Through the Eyes of Their Cooks"Amazing stories . . .

"Amazing stories . . . Intimate portraits of how these five ruthless leaders] were at home and at the table." --Lulu Garcia-Navarro, NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday Anthony Bourdain meets Kapuściński in this chilling look from within the kitchen at the appetites of five of the twentieth century's most infamous dictators, by the acclaimed author of Dancing Bears. What 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? 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--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 life under tyranny.Binding Type: Paperback

Works Great
Color: Black
Got this for my office desk to keep everything arranged and the valet tray works out perfectly. The leather is holding up nicely, and the black color looks great on my desk. Everything fits nicely, and the little door on top swings with ease.
The inner lining has a nice material thought it either wasn't fit right to the boxes, or it has delaminated so on some of the longer edges, I need to reglue them back to the sides. Once I do that, it'll be perfect.
If the manufacturer is reading this review, please take a look at the adhesive used. Other than that it is beautiful and recommend.

Perfect size, high quality, very useful
I love this organizer. It is perfect for the products that I have. The back compartment is deeper, as the right drawer only goes back 2 sections. That is for taller items. The smaller drawers are perfect for small pallets, products in tubes and small containers, etc. It works just great for me. It is very sturdy and not too big. A perfect size for my counter. Highly recommend.
