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.
The first written about a King and his wife in 2000 is the one the CIA believes Saddam wrote with the help of alleged ghostwriters. The story is one of love and romance, rape and torture. When one considers the writer, it is clear to see that the leader had issues with democracy, freedom or the like. The dictator wanted to keep people down, under his thumb, and kids hungry, which was somewhat accomplished during the last years of the leader's reign in Iraq.
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 third, a journey into the political aspirations related to the Ba'ath party in Tikrit, the dictator's home town. Perhaps one of the biggest reasons he wrote as "he who wrote this, " is so that friends and relatives may not realize it is in fact Saddam who wrote these stories. All books and poems have this surname with no mention of the ruler.
Another work Begone Demons, is an even darker work. While it is believed the book was completed the day before the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, there is no actual proof that this is the case. Begone, Demons tells of the story of Zionist-Christians who basically wage war on Arabs and Muslims.
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.
