Publisher's Synopsis
"The tyrant will soon be gone. The day of your liberation is near". With those heart-felt words, President George Bush assured the people of Iraq that the vicious, blood-soaked rule of Saddam Hussein -- reviled world-wide as the ultimate Face of Evil -- would soon be coming to a permanent end. For nearly 30 years, Saddam had governed his anguished nation through torture and intimidation and death, quickly silencing all who dared to oppose him. The list of his crimes against humanity includes summary executions of political dissidents and potential threats to his rule; the use of deadly chemical weapons against innocent men, women and children; the destruction of entire villages; the creation of horrifying weapons of mass destruction and continued threats of violence and bloodshed against the United States and Iraq's terrified neighbours. This book takes you into the crazed mind of one of the most barbarous world leaders since Adolph Hitler -- and the US-led crusade to end his bloody rule once and for all.
