The Alleged Saddam Hussein Books And Poetry

By Enid Hinton


Alleged, because the CIA is the first to assume that Saddam Hussein wrote four novels. The first being a love story without so much love. The second in relation to a young woman who must wait for her fiance to come home from fighting in Iran. The other two novels being related to Ba'ath party, and the last, conspiracy. Information on each title can be found on Wiki under Saddam Hussein Books.

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.

The first novel was written in 2000. It is the tale of a King who both adores and abuses his wife, filled with romance, rape and torture, it is not a book for the weak of heart. When one considers the life and times of the alleged writer, it is clear to see that there were some definite issues with regards to control both during and outside the dictator's reign in power.

The Fortified Castle written in 2001 contains 713 pages related to an allegorical tale. The tale, that of a delayed wedding to a Kurdish girl due to the fighting in Iran. It is a tale of love and war, bigotry and hatred, all rolled into one.

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 fourth, is a much darker tale. A tale of the demise between Nations written in allegorical style. A tale which tells of a long and ongoing conspiracy between Arabs and Muslims, and the Zionest Christians who believe those other than Christian are satanist and deserve to be slaughtered for failing to believe in the Christian faith.

The dictator was taken down and killed during the invasion. An event that will most likely grace history text books of the future. As to whether Saddam Hussein actually wrote any, or all of these novels is something that will never be fact, only speculation. Still, with the overall imagery and themes, it does appear the leader could have written, if not co-written at least a few.

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.
