Used book - Dictators' Wives (1), Diane Ducret

Their names are Inessa, Clara, Nadia, Magda... His names are Lenin, Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler... He brutalizes them and adores them, but invariably turns to them. Wives, partners, muses, admirers, they have in common being at once triumphant, betrayed, and sacrificed. To their cruel, violent, and tyrannical men, they make them believe they are handsome, charming, omnipotent. For sexuality is one of the springs of absolute power.

Diane Ducret recounts in detail the encounters, seduction strategies, romantic relationships, the intervention of politics, and the destinies of the women who crossed paths with and shared the beds of dictators.

"A fascinating book from beginning to end, totally original." François Busnel – "La Grande Librairie" Includes a photo insert
