Book description
In this hard-hitting collection, acclaimed author Nigel Cawthorne
examines ten of the most sickeningly twisted men who are still alive
today. Some of them, like serial killer Dennis Nilsen and cult leader
Charles Manson, are thankfully behind bars. Others, including the
world's most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden, are still at large.
Unbelievably, one of them, Robert Mugabe, is still clinging to the
reins of power and continues to inflict suffering and economic mayhem
on the desperate people of Zimbabwe. Inside this book is the
gut-twisting story of Charles Taylor, the blood-soaked African general
who has 'recruited' thousands of child soldiers, and one of the most
shocking cases of recent years: that of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man
who imprisoned and sexually abused his own daughter for almost a
quarter of a century. This collection is a terrifying reminder that
monsters really do exist.
