Saddam Hussein reigned as the president of Iraq between 1979 and 2003. His twenty four year rule was ended by US forces in an invasion that led to his capture, trial, sentence to hang and execution on 30th December, 2006. The known Saddam Hussein books are four and an additional collection of poems. He never used his name as the author and instead preferred He Who Wrote It.
According to CIA, the former president of Iraq was the author of Zabibah and the King, a novel released in 2000. It is possible that he employed the assistance of one or several ghost writers. It features a love story between a commoner girl named Zabibah and the mighty ruler of medieval Iraq.
Zabibah is married to a cruel husband who goes to the extent of raping her. The book is set in Tikrit, the birth town of Saddam, in the 7th or 8th century. Robert Lawrence edited the novel in 2004 in subsequent editions. Sacha Baron Cohen is said to have featured in a Hollywood adaptation of the book but the rumor was dispelled.
The 713 pages novel entitle The Fortified Castle captured the allegory of Iraq as a nation. It hit the shelves in 2001 and features a hero of the famous Iraq-Iran War. The hero plans to marry a Kurdish girl, but there are delays to the ceremony. The three main characters in the story are two brothers, Sabah and Mahmud and a lady called Shatrin. The brothers come from a farming family living on the banks of Tigris River. Shatrin is the third character, a lady who hails from Suleimaniya.
The meeting point for the three characters is University of Baghdad. This happens after Sabah has escaped from the Iran captives who held him and his friends as prisoners of the Iraq-Iran war. He was captured after getting wounded in the battle fields.
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 in English to mean Get Out You Cursed. CIA presumes that its completion was a day before US invasion into Iraq. The story is laden with Zionist-Christian propaganda against Arabs and Muslims. The plot features an attack on some twin towers, a mirror of what happened on September 11th in US. The author shows a clear Muslim-Christian conflict through selective and deliberate naming of characters within the plot.
Tokuma Shoten Publishing of Japan edited and released the same book in 2006 under a different title Devils Dance. Humam Khalil released a Turkish translation years later. Raghad wanted to release the same book in Jordan by printing and circulating one hundred thousand copies. The government declined its publication which means that it was never translated and distributed in any other language.
