Love him or loathe him, everybody is interested in the phenomenon that is Donald Trump. In the 100 facts contained within, Ruth Ann Monti brings us up close to the man and the brand. Even seasoned Trump watchers will find things they never knew. Did you know that Trump’s children aren't allowed to keep pets? That he has been married more times than any other president? How many businesses bearing his name have gone under? Did you know he once proposed a tax on the 'superwealthy' to wipe out the national debt? How about the theory that The Donald is descended from a ‘werewolf ’ –or at least from his lover?Whether you approach this book as a dip-in fact file or a straight read, your jaw will hit the floor.

‘Great ideology creates great times.’ Kim Jong-il (1942–2011)Where to start with this mysterious, sometimes terrifying country? Perhaps with some hard facts - which are notoriously difficult to come by. Ruth Ann Monti teases out the truth about this dictatorship to provide an illuminating insight into a society that might just as well be in outer space for most in the West.Did you know, for instance, that high school students are required to complete an 81-hour course on current leader Kim Jong-un? Or that everyone must wear a Kim badge at all times? Even Mao didn't demand that. How about the fact that Kim Jong-un's father and predecessor, Kim Jong-il, kidnapped two of South Korea's film industry giants and made seven films with them – including a Socialist version of Godzilla? The 100 facts don't all make grim reading: for instance, North Koreans like to relax with a favourite tipple - but make theirs from acorns. More importantly, in 2012 North Korean archaeologists discovered a unicorn lair… This book highlights the hidden reality and strange truths about this much-misunderstood country.
