The World's Ten Most Evil Men

In this hard-hitting collection, acclaimed author Nigel Cawthorne examines ten of the most sickening 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. 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 Joseph 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.

Nigel Cawthorne is the author of many bestselling non-fiction books including Heroes: The True Stories Behind Every VC Winner Since World War Two; Vietnam: A War Lost and Won; and History's Greatest Battles. He lives in London.
