Top Five Jobs Dictators had before they were Dictators
5. Hitler: painter (of paintings, not of houses, as is sometimes thought, for some reason)
4. Ho Chi Minh: kitchen helper in France; baker in the US (see George Orwell’s first book Down and Out in Paris and London)
3. Fidel Castro: baseball player
2. Mussolini: newspaper reporter, novelist, Swiss vagrant
1. Stalin: poet, wedding singer
For some helpful interior decorating tips, check out the highly engaging and very funny book Dictators’ Homes.
