This is a fascinating book with stories from throughout history of how people are corrupted by power, how people allow it to happen, and how we can all become more aware of what is happening.

The issues on Clipperton Island are truly shocking and perfectly illustrate Mr Dave’s thesis. I was particularly interested in the information on the British behaviour in Kenya when we overcame a rebellion by the local MauMau people. My father had been in Kenya, although earlier than the described events. Man’s inhumanity to man indeed.

Indigenous peoples are particularly subjugated and abused and I’m not sure anything much has changed.

The book should be compulsory reading for anyone contemplating a career in politics but those are the ones who are possibly least likely to learn the lessons.

I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley

The download date was unfortunately missed, I would be happy to re-review if it became available again. I have awarded stars for the book cover and description as they both appeal to me. I would be more than happy to re-read and review if a download becomes available.
