"Saddam Hussein is a chilling look at the terror and brutality of this man's legacy." - VOYA
"[T]races Saddam Hussein's life from his childhood in Tikrit until his capture by US troops in April of 2003.

Synopsis:
"[T]races Saddam Hussein's life from his childhood in Tikrit until his capture by US troops in April of 2003. The author attempts to show how lessons learned from Saddam's difficult childhood would later be applied to his understanding of Ba'thism, pan-Arabism, and method of rule." - Middle East Journal
Explains key aspects of Saddam Hussein's life. In July 1979, Saddam Hussein became the President of Iraq. His dictum was simply expressed - power through terror. During the first decade of his presidency, Saddam engaged in three wars: the Iran-Iraq War, the invasion of Kuwait, and the Gulf War of 1991. After September 11th, the "war on terrorism" led to the March 2003 war against Iraq and the eventual capture of Saddam Hussein, effectively ending his rule over the Iraqi people. Since his capture, Saddam has been transferred to Iraqi legal custody and awaits his trial for atrocities committed during his regime. This biography details Saddam's life from his difficult childhood in Tikrit to his rise to power and subsequent fall. Balaghi shows how the hard lessons of village life influenced Saddam's ruthless practice of power. Though Saddam no longer rules Iraq, the legacy of his reign is likely to shape Iraqi history for years to come. Part of the "Greenwood Biographies" series, this book provides biographical information on this important figure at a level appropriate for school students. Interest in Saddam Hussein is always high, and will remain so due to his forthcoming trial.

On April 9, 2003, a handful of U.S. Marines helped a small crowd of Iraqis gathered in Firdos Square to tear down a statue of Saddam Hussein. Since his capture, Saddam has been transferred to Iraqi legal custody and awaits his trial for atrocities committed during his regime.This biography details Saddam's difficult childhood in Tikrit and his politically influential teenage years in Baghdad with his uncle. His involvement with the Iraqi Ba'ath Party led to his participation in an assassination attempt on then Prime Minister Qassem. In his early political life, Saddam retained the lessons of village life learned in his difficult Tikrit childhood, but they would become enmeshed with his discovery of Ba'athism and pan-Arabism. Once he became President of Iraq, Saddam often ruled with force and a carefully cultivated image throughout the use of visual imagery and books.
