Probably only Western journalist to have in depth access to Robert Mugabe. Very interesting look into the mind of a tyrant. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dinner-Mugabe-Untold-Freedom-Fighter/dp/0143025570/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1226717372&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Dinner-Mugabe-Untold-Freedom-Fighter/dp/0143025570/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1226717372&sr=8-1</a> “Dinner with Mugabe” by Heidi Holland.

Here is my suggestion: King Abdul Aziz Ibn Sa'ud - The founder of Modern Sa'udi Arabia. This man single handedly created the modern Kingdom of Sa'udi Arabia in the early 1900s by uniting the desert tribes with a combination of generosity and ferocity, and by playing the then world superpowers of the British Empire and Turkey off of one another to become the richest and most influential country in the Middle East. Abdul Aziz's sons continue his legacy today. I suggest reading "The Kingdom" by Roberty Lacey I just found this blog from a reference, but the writings are interesting. Here is my suggestion:

ARMARILLO SLIM--"Amarillo Slim in a World Full of Fat" people by Greg Dinkin. Not the best written book in the world, but eminently interesting. "Thy Neighbor's Wife" by Gay Talese has some great stories about Hugh Hefner's early hustling days too. Simon Callow’s books on ORSON WELLES.
