Synopsis
Theres a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating.

Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwaters insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Husseins side career as a trashy romance novelist.
