The United States tells the dramatic story of those who felt compelled to confront and try to contain the most powerful man in the world as he shredded norms and sought to expand his power.

What happens when broken boys inherit empires? They don’t heal. They conquer. Tyrants is a side-by-side psychological autopsy of two of history’s most infamous men: Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. From violent childhoods and humiliating rejection to god complexes, body counts, and ultimate collapse, this book doesn’t mythologize — it dissects. This is not a dry timeline.

And how power, left unchecked, consumes the world.

They taught you the dream. They left out the fire. King, Uncut strips away the safe, polished image and brings you the man they didn’t want you to meet. This is not a tribute. This is a reckoning. The speeches they don’t quote. The truths they don’t teach. And the revolution that never stopped.
