Dictators’ Homes
Peter York
Peter York looks at how some of history’s most alarming men and
women have chosen to decorate their homes; exploring the private
tastes of these public figures in the broader context of twentieth century
interiors and architecture. From Benito Mussolini’s inglenook fireplace to
Hitler’s parquet floor; and General Noriega’s Christmas tree; no design
detail is left unexamined.
Dictators’ Homes affords a greater insight into some of history’s most
dangerous minds than any interview or archive ever could. These
buildings illustrate what happens when unrestricted imagination collides
with unlimited power.
