Secret Sex Lives of Tyrants uncovers the private worlds of some of history's most notorious dictators. The series examines the sexual power plays, obsessions and abuses that influenced rulers' reigns - and sometimes the fate of nations. From Muammar Gaddafi's secret sex chambers, Fidel Castro's insatiable womanising, Joseph Goebbels' politically charged affairs, Saddam Hussein's sexual brutality, Mao Zedong's concubine network and Idi Amin's murderous polygamy, the series reveals how intimate appetites became deliberate instruments of control.
