Discovering Saddam Hussein Books And Poetry

By Enid Hinton


Is it possible that one of the men often thought of as one of the most evil in the world, did not just gas his own nation but wrote and published four novels, and several poems? This is what the CIA suggests with regards to one novel in particular. Information on each title can be found on Wiki under Saddam Hussein books. The books are filled with alleged love stories involving rape, weddings and war.

While it is believed Saddam had a lot to do with the storytelling in each novel, the CIA has suggested that each were written with the help of a ghostwriter, or ghostwriters. Also, the surname as author always reads "he who wrote this, " never Hussein. While there is proof of authorship, the subject matters, tone and topics all suggest this to be fact rather than fiction.

Zabiba and the King, the first published in 2000, is the first the CIA believe wrote with the assistance of one or several other individuals acting as ghostwriters. It is a story of romance, rape and torture. A man who adores yet abuses his wife in the name of love, and jealousy, hate and revenge.

The second novel, The Fortified Castle written in 2001 is seventy three pages long. It is an allegorical tale of sorts about a delayed wedding to the ongoing tensions and fighting between Iran and Iraq. A tale of two sides, the Sunnis and Shiites, of which there are two lovers. In the end, the story ends without resolution, or a wedding. While, it may difficult to understand, when one compares the hesitant of marriage between Jewish individuals and Christians, one can better understand the hesitance of a marriage between a Shiite and a Sunni.

Men In The City, the third novel being one related to the rise of the Ba'ath party in Iraq, unlike others is of a political nature. The book looks at the rise of the Ba'ath party in Tikrit, which is the home town of the dictator. While a number of books were written within the few years prior to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, most are set in the small village the dictator once called home.

The final work in Saddam's writing cache, other than poetry is that of Begone, Demons, a book which has been suggested had been finished one day before the U. S. Invaded Iraq in 2003. While this has been reported to be the case, there is no physical evidence as to the truth of the matter. In this one, a conspiracy is taking place in relation to Zionist-Christians who renounce Arabs, Muslims, and the Islamic faith.

Saddam Hussein was taken down in 2003, something that will no doubt go down in history. First, because of the successful assassination of the ruler, and second for the way the dictator treated his own people. And, lastly, for these four novels and a number of poems, both published and unpublished, once again those published under "he who wrote this." Saddam's oldest daughter is now looking or a publisher for these four novels, and poetry hoping that educators in Iraq and elsewhere might find the information useful in teaching.

Whether or not these books will be made available to the public is yet to be known. As to whether readers would enjoy reading these stories, it is doubtful; That is, unless one was a supporter of Saddam, whether before, or after the invasion.
