How to Rule The World

gives a good read of how to become a dictator, it is humorous book with nice drawings of historical figures, their successes and their failures. i'd shown it to my history teacher and he laughed, saying to leave him a piece of land to own.

Bought for teacher with sense of humour

Bought for my Boss in work as a secret Santa present, went down Well, I had a quick look at book prior to wrapping it, was humorous as well factual

An amusing yet truthful book. It's like the bastard child of the Prince and the Art of war. A pleasant read

This is one of those satires that emulate self-help books but tackles a completely incongruous subject. It reminds me of Daily Show's "America: The Book" and is of almost equivalent quality in its writing. The book leads you on a "teaching course" about how to become a tyrant. It's both witty and wise, and I laughed outloud quite often. A bonus is short history lessons about world-famous tyrants. The drawings are amusing too. It's considerably better than "How to Be A villain" which I read lately, although unfortunately not as visually attractive (thought the drawings are pretty cute- they should have reconsidered the cover though, "How to be A Villain" had a cover that screamed "pick me up!") All in all I think this book deserves more success than it probably had. Recommended.
