The World’s History of Megalomania
(Historia mundial de la megalomanía)

A surprising and enlightening anthology of the excesses, ravings and delusions of political cults of personality. It includes biographical notes and reflections on the numerous characters—from Alexander the Great, Caligula, Hitler, to Franco, Fidel Castro, and Gaddaffi—who have sought to do the impossible believing themselves providential superhumans: to become gods.
