This series deals with men and women who have achieved something in their lives, whether good or bad. Each volume contains 20 illustrated biographies of famous men and women, all of whom have made a contribution in their own particular field. In this particular book, the author looks at some notably corrupt and evil tyrants who have wielded great power over others. The author examines the careers of some of the most ruthless and oppressive men and women in history and discusses why they were able to wield so much power and had such an evil influence on others. The author has written many books for adults and children including "Twenty Names in Art" in this series and several books in the "Great Lives" series.
