Product Description

The course of world history has often been set by powerful individuals who had an insatiable hunger for power, wealth, fame, and glory. In many cases, these villains have ruled countries and empires with violence and oppression--inflicting their ideals on innocent people.

History's Villains takes a two-sided look at some of history's most influential villains; the series explores simultaneously the influences and experiences that shaped the figure, but does so in the context of the time. What emerges is a unique story about a world that changed a person and a person that changed the world. (20030301)

5.0 out of 5 stars Exce,,ent, to-the-point book., May 26, 2007

By	Ralph DeMattia "A Lincoln Fan" (Fayetteville, Pennsylvania United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Want a REAL example of "Black Power? here it is, in all it's(?) glory.
And come to think of it: why, in the 8 or 9 years this clown was in power, did we NEVER hear any criticism from Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton
about this madman? Let a white leader so much as fart against the wind and they're all over him, but good ol' Uncle Idi kills more than 400,000 Africans and we hear not a peep out of either "Reverand" Al or "Reverand" Jesse! This book is short, concise, and very readable - It cuts to the chase right away and tells it all!!!!
