I’m fascinated by totalitarian governments, how they came to be and the men who led them.

Last year I read Lenin: The Man, the Dictator, and the Master of Terror; Young Stalin; and Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar.

I just finished The Romanovs: 1614-1918 and have started Mao: The Unknown Story. Any recommendations are super appreciated!
