The Baghdad Leader. Rise and Fall... A Political Portrait of Saddam Hussein against the Regional and Global Background

The authors have turned to the personality of the former president of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, not by chance. Like another prominent figure of the Arab world - the Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser, he challenged the United States. But while Nasser is already history, albeit recent, Hussein is an integral figure of contemporary political history, one of the strategists of the 20th century. Saddam will appear before the reader as a man striving for power, at the height of power, and who lost it. You will learn about the unknown and little-known moments of his biography, his leadership methods, character, and personal life. Saddam is not only a head of state, politician, and diplomat but also a son, family man, husband, and father of sons and daughters. The book is intended for both specialists in international relations and a wide range of readers. It is addressed to everyone concerned about the fate of the world and global security, who strives to understand these fateful problems of the beginning of the third millennium. . .
