How to Feed a Dictator
14.99 €
Food and politics are inextricably linked. The rulers' chefs remain in the shadows, but perhaps they, more than anyone else, know and understand those for whom they cook. After all, to please the client, you need not only to study his tastes and habits, but also to be able to react quickly to the slightest changes in the situation or mood. Especially if your life depends on it. Polish journalist Witold Szablowski asks: what was on the plates of dictators of the second half of the twentieth century when they made their terrible decisions? What did Saddam Hussein eat when he ordered the gassing of tens of thousands of Kurds? What did Pol Pot eat when nearly two million Khmer people were starving to death? What did Fidel Castro order when he brought the world to the brink of nuclear war? Combining the testimonies of personal chefs with panoramic optics, Shablovsky creates vivid portraits of famous tyrants, sometimes finding in them the most unexpected qualities.
