Why does if have to be stressed and re-stressed that the editor and publishers are pro-American? Obviously, they believe in a free market, since this is a thinly veiled attempt to make money.
Saddam Hussein's romantic fable 'Zabiba and the King' is a fascinating and moving work which provides a unique insight into the psyche of the former Iraqi dictator. (Two of Saddam's former interpreters have confirmed that he penned it himself.
Edited by Robert Lawrence who owns all rights to the book (translation belongs to editor) according to the book's jacket...The allegory(with refers continually about philosophical thought & ideology) ends on Pg 147 with the death of the king* and Zabiba*,with the 3rd country beside Iraq*(Saddam & its people) and the USA being Russia and proceeds on other philosophical "essay"...
Intresting. The profits go to the red cresent.
Sadly,Zabiba and the King is a very dull and boring piece of political fiction. The dull, emotionless style of writing kills off every moment of dramatic importance in the novel.
One of the four novels ever written by Saddam Husein.. i've got one entitled translated into 'Evil Dance' which was interesting to put politics into a novel..
