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.
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 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 one of the best allegories of Iraq as a nation and state. It comes in 713 pages and was released to the market in 2001. The hero fought in the Iraq-Iran war and is planning to marry a Kurdish girl. His plans are facing hitches from all angles. The plot is made up of three main characters, a lady called Shatrin and two brothers, Mahmud and Sabah. The two come from the western bank of Tigris River while the lady comes 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 considered a clarion call to Iraqis to unite. The mother of the war hero is confronted by pressure to divide their wealth. She does not bow to the pressure, insisting that the property is impossible to buy using money. In her words, the property can only be claimed by those who fought and shed their blood for it. A third book entitled Men and the City never got the attention given to the other titles.
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.
