The Alleged Saddam Hussein Books And Poetry

By Enid Hinton


Saddam Hussein's oldest daughter wants to find a publisher for four novels and poetry which are believed were written by the dictator. Four novels in total make up the cache of Saddam's writings if in reality, it is the dictator who wrote as "he who wrote this, " never using a real name. As such while these Saddam Hussein books and poetry have yet to be published, some might see this reality in the future.

It is also believed that there were people than just Saddam involved in the writing of these books. The CIA was the first to suggest that the initial novel had been written with the help of a ghostwriter, or ghostwriters. Whereas, it appears if this is the case, it would most likely be the for all four novels.

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.

The dictator also delved into political writing with Men And The City, a political aspiration related to the rise of the Ba'ath party in Tikrit. Perhaps one of the best reasons the leader wrote under a pen name as "he who wrote this." All novels have this surname, as do several poems which it is believed Saddam wrote as well.

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.

Saddam Hussein was taken down in 2003 during the initial invasion of the United States on Iraq. Many leaders in the United States lied about the dictator having mass weapons, some now facing war crimes in countries outside the U. S. Up until the events in America on 9/11, the two countries had somehow found a way to live along side one another peacefully. Then, once the American president and vice-president, having now been proven to have lied to Congress and the American people about the existence of weapons of mass destruction stored in Iraq, things changed.

In the end, whether or not his oldest daughter will find a publisher remains in question. Though, with so many self-publishing companies working all over the world, there is no doubt the works could be published locally in Iraq, if not the rest of the world. If so, it will be interesting to see the level of interest people have in reading these writings.
