Dictator Style
Filed under: Estates
We like to look into posh homes whenever possible, but some homes aren't really accessible to the public. For example, the homes of dictators and rulers that are made luxurious by way of ill-gotten gains, as opposed to shopping at Bergdorf's. Dictator Style: Lifestyles of the World's Most Colorful Despots is a book that goes where we can't and takes the reader into the bedrooms, bathrooms and every other room of the rich and disreputable, most of which have now been destroyed. Subjects include Lenin, Hitler, Hussein and Noriega.
Author Peter York, described as a "style-guru" who believes that our homes are where we truly express ourselves, analyzes and comments with smart, snide writing that make the book as interesting as the images, many which are surprisingly vibrant, if tasteless, though the subjects had dark lives.
