History's Villains: Kim Il Sung, by Scott Ingram

History's Villains: Kim Il Sung, by Scott Ingram. 2004 hardcover. 112 pages, very nice condition.

Kim Il Sung ruled the tiny nation of North Korea for more than 40 years. He was responsible for starting a war that killed millions and brought the world to the brink of nuclear holocaust. His power never faltered, even after his death he remained a powerful force in his country.

The course of world history has often been set by powerful individuals who had an insatiable hunger for power, wealth, fame, and glory. In many cases, these villains have ruled countries and empires with violence and oppression--inflicting their ideals on innocent people. History's Villains takes a two-sided look at some of history's most influential villains; the series explores simultaneously the influences and experiences that shaped the figure, but does so in the context of the time. What emerges is a unique story about a world that changed a person and a person that changed the world.
