Saddam Hussein's Novella Is Coming To Bookstores Near You, Maybe

A certain American presidential candidate might say of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, “He was a bad guy ― really bad guy. But you know what? He did well? He wrote pulpy allegorical novels that ham-handedly glorified his own leadership. He did that so well.” 

That’s right, in case you missed this important trivia fact about the strongman, Saddam Hussein published several works of fiction prior to his execution in 2006, and for the first time, a U.K. publisher is bringing an English translation of his last known book to the public.
