Review of "The Dictator's Handbook" on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I read this book after watching the CGP Grey video that was based on it (link here www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs). I don't know if I would recommend the book, but I 100% recommend the video. The book offers a unique view of politics which is really insightful, but it then tries to explain everything with that same view. The book was also really repetitive, so despite the shortness of the videos they cover ~90% of the concepts in the book.
