    About this ebook

    Leave it to the experts of the best-selling Worst-Case Scenario series to ferret out the most scandalous, dangerous, incompetent, and downright awful people to ever seek power. The most lavish palaces, the bloodiest coups, the stupidest declarations. . . . Plus all the lists, charts, maps, and profiles that have made the Worst-Case Scenario Almanacs such a success. Which country had more governments in the past 175 years—Italy or Bolivia? What ever happened to all those people who ran for vice president of the United States of America—and lost? Illustrated, step-by-step scenarios describe how to respond when confronted with misfortune or challenge, including how to give a concession speech, kiss a drooling baby, escape a sex scandal, and evade the truth.

      This is a funny, informative, entertaining handbook for anyone who follows politics, for aspiring politicians who need quick answers to the latest crisis, and the current or aspiring political pundit who needs to quickly understand the dirty business of politics in the 21st Century. The title marks this volume as one of a series of books offering advice on how to cope with the many challenges of modern living – from dating and sex, to work, to parenting, and on and on. In little more than 250 pages and six chapters this book tells you how to obtain political office, how to survive incumbency and keep your position, and how and when to leave office.There are special instructions on such things as “How to Kiss a Drooling Baby”, “How to Survive a Sex Scandal”, and “How to Write a Best-Selling Memoir” among other invaluable subjects. Mini-biographies are provided on 10 of the “worst of the worst” political figures (by way of example of what not to do) and much advice is quoted from numerous political figures both famous and infamous. For its size and its humorous intent, this really is a very informative and funny book with some really practical bits of advice slipped in with the “spoonful of sugar.”
