Praise for Children of Monsters

“A magnetic page-turner that nonetheless is complex and deep. The fascinating and horrific details Nordlinger unearths flow together to pose important and disturbing questions about love, loyalty, history, and human nature.”

—Mark Helprin, author of Winter’s Tale and A Soldier of the Great War

“This extraordinary book makes us all ask of ourselves: What would we do if we realized that our beloved father was also a blood-stained tyrant? . . . Jay Nordlinger’s exceptional investigation into the children of 20 modern dictators grips and convinces.”

—Andrew Roberts, author of The Storm of War and Napoleon: A Life

“a riveting and informative read”

—Juliana Geran Pilon, in the Washington Free Beacon

“sobering, albeit relentlessly fascinating and entertaining”

—Mark Tapson, in FrontPage Magazine

“gripping . . . At the risk of cliché, I will say, Children of Monsters is impossible to put down.”

—Mona Charen, in her syndicated column

“peerless . . . Like a good tragedian, Nordlinger infuses Children of Monsters with catharsis. Nearly each of his 20 chapters culminates in a release of tension. . . . Without humanizing the dictators, Nordlinger’s study of their children reveals their fathers’ humanity.”

—Michael T. Hamilton, in Dissident

“oddly compelling . . . As surprising as the book’s subject is at first glance, as one begins reading it one wonders why such a book was not written a long time ago.”

—John Daniel Davidson, in The Federalist
