Saddam Hussein served as the president of Iraq between July 16th 1979 and 9th April of 2003. He was executed by hanging on December 30th 2006 in Green Zone Bagdad. By the time of his death, he had written four novels and several poems. None of the Saddam Hussein books ever came in his real name. He used a pseudo name He Who Wrote It to publish all his works.
CIA recons that Zabibah and the King, released in 2000 was authored by Saddam with the assistance of ghost writers. The novel is set in medieval Iraq and features a commoner girl called Zabibah. She is caught in a love web between her and the king who is was a mighty ruler of old day Iraq.
Zabibah is married to a rapist and cruel husband. The setting is Tikrit somewhere in the 7th or 8th century. Saddam was interestingly born in Tikrit. A new edition of the book was released in 2004, having been edited by Lawrence Robert. There was a rumor that the movie where Sacha Baron Cohen starred was adapted from this story but it turned out not to be true.
The Fortified Castle is a 713 pages novel that was released in 2001. It is an allegory of a delayed wedding of a hero of the Iraq-Iran war. The hero is supposed to get married to a Kurdish girl. It features three main characters. Two of them are brothers named Mahmud and Sabah. They come from the rural western bank of Tigris River and are born of a farming family. The third character is Shatrin, a lady from Suleimaniya.
The three characters in The Fortified Castle are attending the same University of Baghdad. Sabah is an accomplished hero in the Iraq-Iran war. He got wounded in the war and ends up as a war captive. He manages to escape and take a few of his friends into freedom.
The Fortified Castle is a depiction of Iraq. The idea fronted in the text is the value of unity. The proposal to divide the property is met with resistance by the mother of the war hero. In her assertion, the value of properties in question cannot be quantified in monetary terms. She stands by the principle that only those who fought for it with their blood should have a share. The third publication was Men and the City which did not gain much popularity.
Begone Demons is loosely translated as Get Out You Damned. The book is said to have been completed a day before US invasion. It captures the theory of Zionist-Christian conspiracy to fight and oppress Muslims and Arabs. The story appears to be a reference to the destruction of the Twin Towers on September 11th. The naming of characters is suggestive of the Muslim-Christian tussle.
Toluma Shoten Publishing released a version of Begone Demons in 2006 in Tokyo Japan under the title Devils Dance. The Turkish translation was the work of Humam Khalil. When Raghad wanted to print and release a hundred thousand copies of the book in Jordan, the government declined. This means that the title never got to be translated or released in any other language.
