I Was Saddam's Son

Rating:
Summary: A fascinating book!
Review: This book corroborates many of the horrors I have read about the Ba'athist regime in Iraq. It gives an excellent picture of Saddam's regime and maybe a better understanding of the kind of man (and his family) who builds palaces and weapons of mass destruction while his people starves. Interested in the Middle East? The Gulf War? This one is a must.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This book reveals the underground mysteries of the Saddam Hussein empire and the way it affects the citizens of Iraq. It also reveals the agony that Latif Yahia went through as Uday's Hussein double and bodyguard. I reccommend this book for people that are looking for an exclusive look at how an empire of corrupt ruler works..

Summary: True, I saw him on TV
Review: This is true it did happen. I was there in Baghdad when they made him confess on TV. I dont know whats in the book. I read interviews with the guy after he ran away. As I said, I saw him confess on Iraqi TV after Odai made him. He was a double.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This masterpiece sucked me into the story on the very first page. It was interesting to read while some of the people Latif writes about are surrendering themselves in Iraq. I highly recommend this book if you want to learn more about Iraq, Saddam and in particular Saddams oldest son, Uday.

Summary: A Truly Fascinating Account of Insanity Personified
Review: This was one of the most interesting and bizarre stories I've read in quite some time... extremely frightening due to the fact that it's true! Just imagine living under the rule of the worst Mafia boss you can imagine and then compound the fear factor by 100 and you have the current situation in Iraq. As a former military intelligence analyst stationed in the middle east, I have read many different accounts of Uday's heinous actions in the past, a few of which I found hard to believe. However, this book convinced me without a doubt that the entire Hussein regime is truly beyond cruel, selfish, and completely insane. A totally amazing biography...
