00:10history is full of killer stories people places and events so downright shocking that we just
00:19can't forget them tonight a vicious dictator who rules by terror saddam hussein famously
00:27hangs his enemies in the streets of baghdad and gives an order that they not be cut down for weeks
00:33a ruler so monstrous he inspires one of the most infamous villains in literature while these men
00:43are bleeding out vlad sops his bread in their blood and proceeds to eat it and the power couple who
00:50bleeds their country dry marcos kills over 3 000 filipinos and he dumps their mutilated corpses
00:58on the street these are the tyrants so destructive and devious they can only be among history's
01:07deadliest
01:12ask anyone to name the worst tyrant of the 20th century and you'll probably hear names like
01:19hitler stalin mussolini but the son of a modest chinese farmer racks up a death toll higher than all three
01:32combined china in the early 20th century is a pretty brutal place you have a lot of people that are
01:40experiencing deep deep deep amounts of poverty one of those families is the family that Mao Zedong is
01:48born into in 1893 he's a bookish librarian he wants to make china a much better place he wants to
01:55bring
01:55about ultimately a working class revolution in 1921 Mao helps found china's communist party and from
02:03there a revolution is born what result is a bloody civil war that goes on for decades it pits Mao's
02:11communist party against chiang kai-shek's nationalist party by 1949 the communist party ends up winning that
02:19war Mao is made president of china and his communist party is in power Mao takes power by brutal force
02:28and holds on to it the same way anybody that opposes him he calls a counter-revolutionary he orders
02:35thousands arrested forces confessions and sets up trials if you're found guilty at these trials which
02:43you will be the two outcomes you're facing are either death by firing squad or being sent to a labor
02:49camp
02:50Mao conducts public executions in front of large crowds he kills or terrifies into silence anybody that
02:58might oppose him Mao's purge lasts three years and kills more than two million people but it's just the
03:06first step in Mao's vision for a new china in 1958 Mao announces his great leap forward his plan is
03:14to
03:15transform chinese society into a modern state one of the things that Mao does is take over farming he
03:23simply believes that if he takes the peasants off of the land and instead turns it into collectives
03:28that these collectives are going to be able to massively increase production for these collectives to hit
03:34their quotas they massively over plant all these crops end up competing for space for nutrients and so
03:42what ends up happening is you have a lot of these crops that end up failing the communist leader needs
03:48someone or something to blame Mao and the government come to the conclusion that the enemy of this farming
03:56initiative is a two ounce bird called a sparrow he claims that the sparrow is eating
04:03so much of china's crops that's why they have smaller yields Mao enlists the aid of the entire chinese
04:11population 600 million strong and he lets them know that it is the duty of every chinese citizen
04:17to kill any sparrow they see on site in just a few weeks more than a billion sparrows are killed
04:25across
04:26the country and the government declares it a tremendous success but Mao's victory lap is cut short when
04:34a plague descends on chinese farms the sparrows main food source is insects but because a billion sparrows
04:44have been killed by the chinese population these locusts now have the ability to roam free
04:51the locusts eat the grain in some places production is down 70 and what was supposed to be a way
04:58to feed
04:59the people leads to or contributes to the worst famine in modern history this famine which lasts from 1959 to
05:081961
05:09leads to 45 million people dying from starvation that's almost seven percent of the country's population
05:18while his country suffers and starves now lives a life of luxury he travels around between his
05:25million dollar properties he's got beautiful women he lives the life of a rich man who does not
05:31understand that his people are starving mouse brutality allows him to stay in power into the year 1976
05:38when finally he dies at the age of 82. to this day if you go to china you can actually
05:45see his body on
05:46display because when mao died his body was embalmed and placed in a glass coffin for all to see and
05:52all
05:52to pay reverence mao tries to destroy an entire bird species but that's nothing compared to this next tyrant
06:04who declares war on the ocean
06:09guys julius caesar augustus germanicus is only 24 years old when he becomes emperor of rome
06:16in 37 a.d germanicus is rome's third emperor and he's about to become one of its most infamous
06:23he is the son of the general germanicus who is the nephew and adopted son of emperor tiberius
06:30he spends a lot of his youth growing up at camp with germanicus the soldiers call him caligula which
06:37means little boot initially he is beloved by the people he starts important public works projects he's
06:44engaging in political reforms and he actually participates in the games in the chariot races
06:49he is beloved but fate intervenes and sends caligula down a dark path just seven months after he
06:58becomes emperor he gets very very ill and the rumor is it might be the result of poisoning whatever the
07:06actual cause caligula rises from his sickbed a changed man and not for the better he comes out of
07:15it cruel and petty he revels in belittling people and humiliating them he makes the senators run alongside
07:23his chariot to talk to them he makes a game of betting their wives just to humiliate them
07:30as madness sets in caligula's behavior goes from cruel to pure evil he starts to kill or have killed
07:41everyone he sees as a threat he has his cousin killed he has the leader of his praetorian guard
07:48who is his friend killed it's not just that he has these people executed it's that he tells the
07:54executioners to draw it out for caligula's pleasure for as long as possible one of his favorite means
08:01of execution is dem nacho at bestias which means death by wild animal
08:09they starve a lion or a tiger and then they throw you in the cage and watch it tear you
08:15apart at this
08:17point it becomes hard to describe caligula's behavior as anything other than a descent into madness
08:23he has himself declared a living god he has his horse elected consul which is the highest office
08:29in the roman republic and he claims that he himself is able to speak with jupiter the highest god of
08:36the
08:36roman pantheon his out-of-control behavior is matched by his out-of-control spending he spends 10 million
08:44sesterces which is the equivalent of about 40 million dollars today on a single dinner guests are given a
08:51drink made from crushed pearls and they're served food that is encrusted with gold
08:59caligula's crazy profligate spending has nearly bankrupted his empire and so he says i'm going to
09:05take an army and i'm going to loot britannia caligula leads a massive army of 200 000 men to the
09:12shores of the
09:13english channel where he simply stops and instead of crossing the channel instead of invading britannia
09:20caligula he has the soldiers gather seashells and then he says that those are the signs of the
09:26victory over the sea since you can't feed an army with seashells the roman senate decides to put an end
09:33to the madness january 24 41 a.d finally it's too much and his praetorian guard kills him
09:49caligula only rules rome for four years but his reign leaves a lasting mark his brutal purges and his
09:57murders the way that he transforms the gladiatorial games into blood sport he really is one of rome's
10:04most infamous emperors and one of its deadliest saddam hussein's dark story begins long before he
10:17becomes a dictator the man known as the butcher of baghdad has a long and bloody past
10:27it's october 7th 1959 in baghdad and the iraqi leader at the time abdul kareem kasim is driving
10:35in a motorcade down the street when suddenly gunfire emerges from all around him
10:42the would-be assassin a young saddam hussein takes a bullet to the leg but manages to limp away and
10:49avoid capture hussein may have botched the assassination but he's proven himself he is
10:55ruthless he's ambitious and he is willing to spill blood it's these deadly qualities that help saddam
11:03rise to power hussein quickly moves through into the upper echelons of the bath party first he's
11:10vice president and then by 1979 he's president of iraq now that saddam has power he intends to keep it
11:19at any cost and that means not trusting anybody six days after saddam hussein takes power he calls an
11:27emergency meeting of the bath party where he arrests 68 of the leading members 22 are executed he has
11:37those executions filmed and the legend is that he will watch them later for his own entertainment
11:44three months later he has 14 people arrested on charges of trying to plot against him and he famously
11:50hangs them in the streets of baghdad for the public to see and gives an order that they not be
11:55cut down for
11:56weeks hussein is merciless with all iraqis but he directs his worst at the shia muslims and the kurds
12:04in the north on march 16 1988 he sets his sight on a kurdish town called halabja in north iraq
12:10he accuses
12:11them of being insurgents but in fact all they are is the wrong ethnicity saddam sends in army attack
12:18helicopters and they actually drop nerve agents and mustard gas chemical weapons on the unsuspecting
12:23village beneath them and this mist descends on a population of some 5 000 people seizing and
12:31vomiting and rolling on the ground this mass population being killed saddam's thirst for death
12:40and destruction is matched only by his appetite for self-indulgence he builds over a hundred palaces
12:47across iraq just outside of baghdad he creates one with 62 bedrooms gold-plated fixtures italian marble
12:55but these creature comforts do little to put the butcher of baghdad at ease and there are a lot of
13:03people who want him dead he has his food tested for poison he has body doubles all over the place
13:10he can't bed down in the same place twice even though saddam spends decades sowing fear and terror
13:17he still wants to be loved he also wants to be an artist and a poet and he writes poetry
13:24and he writes
13:25a romance novel with himself featured on the cover but saddam's career as an author is cut short when on
13:32march 20th 2003 american forces invade iraq on a hunt for weapons of mass destruction it's no contest
13:41the iraqi defense is steamroll but saddam hussein manages to hide for eight months but not forever
13:50december 13th of 2003 saddam hussein is found hiding in a rural village in a spider hole
13:59he spends three years in prison demanding things like raisin bran and fruit loops and doritos as he
14:07writes poems about how much he hates the united states in the end saddam hussein is found guilty of
14:12crimes against humanity having killed a million of his own people and he's executed by hanging on december
14:1830th 2006.
14:23saddam hussein may have been a best-selling author but there's a 15th century tyrant who inspires one
14:30of the scariest characters in pop culture
14:37in 1462 a huge ottoman army of more than 90 000 men led by the sultan mehmed ii invades the
14:45country of
14:45wallachia but what mehmed sees outside the city of targoviste is horrifying
14:55thousands of turkish prisoners of war impaled on these sharp wooden spikes
15:06even for hardened soldiers this is beyond the pale mehmed and his army turn around and march
15:12right out of wallachia they'll call it the forest of the impaled and the message it sends is clear
15:20this is what awaits you when you threaten glad dracula also known as glad the impaler
15:28vlad the third is not someone that takes too kindly to the ottoman empire as a child the ottomans take
15:35him and hold him as a hostage to bring his father to heel supposed to guarantee that they will behave
15:40they murder his father and his brother vlad's loss of his father and brother fuels his revenge vlad has
15:49learned from a very early age how to use cruelty and brutality as effective weapons of war
15:55his favorite form of punishment is as simple as it is savage impalement is a simple but brutal process
16:05you take a sharpened wooden stake often covered in oil and you insert it either vertically or
16:10horizontally into the victim's body then you raise the stake so that it's vertical and the victim
16:17slowly but surely slides down the pool ideally what you're trying to do is miss the major organs so that
16:26the person who is impaled hangs there alive for as long as possible while they die there's a story
16:35where vlad invites some of his political rivals to his home they are captured and they are impaled
16:47and legend has it that while these men are bleeding out vlad sops his bread in their blood
16:55and proceeds to eat it
17:00for years vlad's ferocious tactics intimidate his enemies but his own luck eventually runs out
17:09sometime in 1477 vlad is killed in battle outside of present-day bucharest it's possible that it was
17:16an ottoman ambush but it's also possible that he was killed by his own troops when you are that brutal
17:21you make a lot of enemies but his reputation remains and you can see how this man who impaled and
17:29killed
17:29goes on to inspire the dracula legend we know why vlad is called the impaler but why is the first
17:42of
17:42russia called ivan the terrible there's a long list of reasons starting with a terrible childhood
17:53in the mid-16th century in moscow there is a dirty young boy wandering the halls of the royal palace
18:02but he's not some peasant or pauper he's actually the grand prince ivan vasilyevich
18:09ivan is orphaned and so he's scooped up by a group of corrupt noblemen known as the boyars
18:18now ivan in this situation is just filled with all of this rage towards his captors towards the
18:26boyars right so he ends up taking out a lot of his aggression on animals this is a precursor for
18:33a tendency to become a serial killer by the time he's in his early teens ivan has schemed his way
18:40into power and is ready to settle some scores he accuses one of the boyars of treason
18:48has him arrested and his sentence is to be thrown to a pack of starving hunting dogs
18:57and the man is torn to shreds
19:03after removing the boyars as a threat ivan declares himself the first czar of russia on january 16th
19:151547 when ivan is 16 something happens that changes everything he meets anastasia romanoff immediately falls in
19:24love and marries her she makes him feel comforted and so for the next 13 years with anastasia by his
19:32side his rule over russia is level-headed but then anastasia dies suddenly in 1560 and ivan turns
19:43truly terrible he descends into violent paranoia and creates his own personal army so he puts
19:51together ultimately russia's first secret police they're called the oprychnik this unit contains
19:576 000 men and their job is to terrorize the population and they're pretty good at it
20:05in the winter of 1570 ivan learns that the city of novgorod which is located northwestern russia
20:12is going to break away from russia and join lithuania the oprychniki show up at the gates and they just
20:19run through the city cutting down everyone murder mayhem
20:27and after six horrific weeks of this action around 12 000 people are dead and the city of novgorod
20:36is essentially just a burnt husk if ivan's reign ended here he would still be known as the terrible
20:44but he goes on for another 14 years
20:48in 1581 he beats his pregnant daughter-in-law and when ivan's son confronts his father about the
20:57beating ivan beats him over the head and kills him ivan the terrible responsible for the brutal deaths
21:08of tens of thousands of people ends up dying while he's playing a game of chess he just keels over
21:18dies right there on the board checkmate ivan the terrible glad the impaler these tyrants live up to
21:29their nicknames and so does the one whose countrymen call him the butcher it's january of 1971 the president
21:42of uganda milton nabote realizes that one of his colonels in the army has been embezzling
21:49so he determines that he's going to arrest him but before he gets a chance to do that he goes
21:55off
21:55to singapore to a meeting of the british commonwealth and that's a mistake this colonel named idi amin
22:03gets a sense of what's going down and he realizes that he must now take offensive action while
22:10obote is gone he goes and takes over the palace and he essentially takes control of the country
22:17idi amin promises the public that he needs just five years to undo all the corruption from the obote
22:24regime he says that after five years he will hold free and fair elections for the ugandan people
22:29it's a promise he doesn't keep instead he launches a brutal campaign to consolidate power he
22:37has suleiman hussein the second in command of the army and beaten to death by his own troops
22:43he has the man's head cut off and he stores it in a freezer and shows it to people when
22:48a political
22:49adversary rises to confront him that adversary is captured his ears nose and lips are cut off he's
22:56disemboweled and set on fire and idi amin himself chooses to put a bullet in his head
23:02in 1976 it's time for amin to hold the elections he's promised instead he declares himself president
23:11for life and he gives himself this incredible title his excellency president for life field marshal
23:18al-haji dr idi amin dada lord of all beasts of the earth and fishes of the sea and conqueror
23:25of the british
23:25empire in africa in general and uganda in particular amin's title grows longer and the rumors grow
23:33louder people claim that he practices bizarre blood rituals there are credible reports that he is
23:40eating his enemy's flesh and drinking their blood he says that by doing this it allows him to control
23:47these people's spirits in 1977 idi amin arrests the archbishop of uganda a man named janani lagum
23:55after he protests the disappearance of his countrymen the next day he releases a story that lawum has
24:01died in a car accident when the body is released to his relatives it is riddled with bullet holes
24:08there are national and international protests over lawum's murder the international community starts to
24:14impose sanction on amin and his regime and the economy of uganda is about to collapse
24:19iti amin's terrifying and savage reign comes to an end with a whimper instead of a bang
24:28on april 11 1979 a bunch of tanzanian soldiers and ugandan rebels march in and capture the capital
24:38city of kampala uganda amin knows he has no chance to fight back so he escapes by helicopter officially ending
24:45his presidency the ugandan people celebrate idiam's departure they tear down his pictures they burn
24:53his government buildings but amin himself is never tried for the murder of half a million ugandan citizens
25:01instead he settles in saudi arabia where he actually dies in exile at the age of 75
25:13history's deadliest tyrants are usually men
25:17but there's one english princess who grows up to be a killer queen
25:24it's 1553 and england's 15 year old king edward vi is incredibly sick before he passes he wants his
25:33cousin lady jane gray to take over the throne edward vi is very protestant and the last thing he wants
25:41is for his sister mary the first to take over the throne because she is a devout catholic once he
25:48names
25:49lady jane gray as his heir edward the sixth passes away but mary is popular and many of the people
25:57see
25:57her as the legitimate heir to the throne so she is able to raise up an army march into london
26:03to popular
26:04acclaim and become crowned the queen of england now mary has some scores to settle the first thing she does
26:13is she places lady jane gray in the tower of london following that she arrests the duke of northumberland
26:20and publicly executes him
26:25it sends a message do not mess with her majesty
26:29still mary knows no monarch is secure without an heir so she starts casting about for someone to
26:39marry to produce an heir and the person she finally settles on philip ii of spain is a staunch catholic
26:46and that causes a lot of concern in england they're afraid that she's going to turn england catholic again
26:52and that england will be under the thumb of spain and that leads to a rebellion
27:00mary is able to put down the rebellion but she does so by more beheadings
27:06she realizes there's a particular risk from lady jane gray that she's going to be inspiring
27:11protestants as long as she's alive so she orders the execution of gray who is her 16 year old cousin
27:22following the death of lady jane gray queen mary passes heresy laws the heresy laws basically state
27:28that if you are somebody that is attempting to practice protestantism you are given three options
27:33the first is you are allowed to convert from protestant to catholic two you can leave the
27:39country or three you can die in february of 1555 the executions begin people whose only crime
27:49is attending a protestant church are burned at the stake the punishment of being burned at the stake is
27:57excruciating it's painful it takes time
28:03there's one infamous incident that turns public support for bloody mary to ash three women are being
28:11burned at the stake and one of them is pregnant the trauma of being burned at the stake sends the
28:17woman into labor and the baby literally is born while she's being burned spectators try to save the
28:24baby they are prevented by the guards it turns the public against mary she's no longer seen as a
28:29religious crusader she is seen as a monster the executions finally come to an end in 1558 and it's not
28:38because bloody mary has a change of heart it's because she dies on the throne at age 42. mary's half
28:46sister elizabeth the first takes control of the throne takes the crown and queen elizabeth the first
28:52who is a protestant brings protestantism back to england
29:00religion has been a source of conflict throughout history but if you think things
29:06get bloody between the catholics and protestants imagine what happens when a leader turns to voodoo
29:15it's 1957 and the republic of haiti is finally holding elections and one of the candidates
29:20is a mild-mannered doctor named francois duvalier he's viewed with great affection and they call him
29:29papa doc on september 22nd 1957 duvalier wins the election in a landslide but when the good doctor
29:40becomes president things change within weeks of taking office he changes the constitution i have been elected
29:48for president for president for life he starts to jail and kill his rivals and before the end of his
29:55first year in office he's had more than 300 people murdered like other tyrants duvalier soon recognizes
30:03he needs henchmen in 1959 he creates his own secret police force called the tonton macoute his enforcers they
30:14roam the streets of port-au-prince the capital and everybody is terrified of them they are judge jury
30:22and executioner if you're even suspected of being a threat to duvalier you're either hacked to death or
30:29burned alive sometimes the bodies are dumped into crocodile infested waters to get rid of them
30:36but other times they're just left in the streets to send a message
30:44in 1963 a one-time duvalier ally named clement barbeau tries to overthrow him duvalier has him arrested
30:52but he escapes and as a consequence duvalier has every officer who let him get away shot to death
31:00what the dictator does next marks a strange turning point in his regime he orders every black dog in
31:09haiti to be killed he explains that clement has used voodoo to turn himself into a black dog in order
31:17to
31:17escape papa duck is said to be more than just a believer in voodoo some say he's also an active
31:26voodoo
31:27priest these rumors start to spread that he has supernatural powers and he can control your spirit
31:32everybody is afraid of him duvalier doesn't confine his alleged powers to haiti when he finds out that
31:43the united states government is trying to undermine him he puts a curse on president john f kennedy
31:48months later jfk is assassinated and many haitians are convinced it's duvalier's handiwork duvalier
31:59actually buys into his own hype at this point telling the people around him that he is immortal
32:05and invincible but no matter what he believes he is human and on april 21st 1971 after years of ill
32:15health he finally dies heart disease and diabetes
32:23he's conquered more land than any other military leader
32:27in history he's more than a general he's also willing to kill by the millions
32:37chinghis khan is born in what is now northeastern mongolia in the year 1162 but he's not known as
32:43chinghis khan then he's known as temujin he's the son of a powerful warlord and according to legend
32:49he's born holding a blood clot which for the mongols was a sure sign of a mighty destiny
32:56the mongols are nomads who are known for living on the steppe they're also these expert horsemen and these
33:04fierce warriors but what they're not is unified temujin is able to build a coalition among all of
33:13these clans people see temujin as someone who can unite these clans under common cause under a common
33:21banner and so temujin starts to earn a brand new name they start calling him jenghis khan jenghis khan when
33:30translated stands for universal ruler the newly declared khan's ambition to build a mongol empire
33:39has him eyeing his neighbor the jinn dynasty in the early 13th century the jinn dynasty in china
33:48controls huge and very wealthy swaths of territory to the south of the great wall
33:53jenghis khan arrives at the dynasty's capital chong du with 150 000 elite mongol warriors
34:00every mongol soldier is given a specific quota of people that they need to kill
34:07they enter the city and they massacre everyone that's inside he leaves behind pyramids of skulls
34:15piles of severed ears he is sending a clear message about what happens to those who resist
34:22but there's a method to khan's viciousness he leaves a few survivors to serve as messengers
34:29when chinghis khan and his army show up at a new city their reputation precedes them people are
34:35already terrified and as often as not they surrender without a fight not everyone gets the message
34:42in 1219 the kwarazmian empire murders a caravan full of mongol merchants and an envoy
34:52so this to jenghis khan is seen essentially as a huge insult and khan doesn't like to be insulted
35:03before the battle even begins chinghis khan orders his soldiers to kill every living thing they
35:09encounter women children livestock even cats and dogs
35:16when the mongols reached the city of otrar they find the official who gave the okay for the mongolian
35:22ambassador to be killed what they do is they pour molten silver into his eyes into his nose and down
35:32his throat

36:10square miles that is one of the largest empires the world has ever seen he's also responsible for
36:15the deaths of more than 40 million people about 10 percent of the earth's population at the time

36:37ferdinand and imelda marcos are the power couple that rules the philippines for over 20 years
36:43in 1954 the marcos met each other and it was love at first sight 11 days later they were married
36:52imelda is a beauty queen who comes from a well-connected family and ferdinand is a young and
36:57successful attorney marcos is rich handsome he's also a convicted murderer in 1935 he's 18 years old
37:08he murders one of his father's political rivals shoots him kills him dead he's tried for murder
37:16while on trial he completes law school writes his own defense and he is freed in 1940 imelda doesn't
37:25seem to care about the murder conviction and neither do most filipinos they elect marcos president in 1965
37:35when this happens the people of the philippines fall in love with this glamorous couple the two are really
37:43the kennedys of the philippines and while they are wildly popular among the filipino people there's
37:49a real dark side to their rule imelda will become known as the iron butterfly and ferdinand is about
37:58to undergo his own transformation in 1969 ferdinand is elected to a second term in a landslide but shortly
38:08after an economic crisis takes over the country the economic decline is causing protest so marcos declares
38:15martial law in september of 1972 marcos changes the constitution he enacts unlimited term limits and he
38:24arrests anyone who dare oppose him and shockingly the filipino people support most of his decisions
38:30because they believe that martial law will reduce crime by the end of the year thousands have been
38:37arrested with most never seeing a courtroom in fact many are never seen again martial law goes on for
38:45nine years over that period maybe 70 000 of his rivals are arrested prisoners in marcos's jails have
38:52their arms and legs broken before they're taken out and buried up to their neck in sugarcane fields
38:57where fire ants can crawl all over their face while the victim is unable to dig themselves out
39:02some prisoners have hydrochloric acid poured down their throats in the end more than 3 000 filipinos
39:11are killed with their bodies thrown out into the streets he dumps their mutilated corpses for everybody
39:19to see while they're busy crushing the philippines under martial law the marcos are also robbing it blind
39:32emelda famously has a collection of 3 000 pairs of designer shoes they buy five luxury condos in new
39:38york on fifth avenue it's estimated that they siphoned off over 10 billion dollars the country is in
39:46devastation people are going hungry in 1981 emelda is overseeing the building of the manila film center the
39:53project is over budget it's behind schedule so emelda orders the construction team to speed up and doing that causes
39:59a disaster
40:02the scaffolding collapses 169 workers die and she appears callous to it word spreads that people
40:11are still buried under the rubble when emelda restarts construction
40:15the tragedy is the beginning of the end for the marcos
40:21when the filipino people find out about this they are outraged there's no accountability for the
40:26tragedy there's no investigation into what happened and there's no compensation for the workers who
40:31were lost in the collapse in february of 1986 marcos is elected again in a clearly rigged election this
40:40time it spurs widespread revolt and under pressure he abandons the philippines he leaves in disgrace
40:50the family flies to honolulu where they're exiled until ferdinand's death at the age of 72 in 1989.
40:58incredibly as ferdinand dies in disgrace emelda's political career is far from over
41:06emelda marcos returns to the philippines she is elected to three terms in the philippine house of
41:13representatives despite all that they did some tyrants are born cruel while others learn to love it they
41:26leave a bloody trail of destruction on their way to becoming history's deadliest
