Explains key aspects of Saddam Hussein's life. In July 1979, Saddam Hussein became the President of Iraq. His dictum was simply expressed - power through terror. During the first decade of his presidency, Saddam engaged in three wars: the Iran-Iraq War, the invasion of Kuwait, and the Gulf War of 1991. After September 11th, the "war on terrorism" led to the March 2003 war against Iraq and the eventual capture of Saddam Hussein, effectively ending his rule over the Iraqi people. Since his capture, Saddam has been transferred to Iraqi legal custody and awaits his trial for atrocities committed during his regime. This biography details Saddam's life from his difficult childhood in Tikrit to his rise to power and subsequent fall. Balaghi shows how the hard lessons of village life influenced Saddam's ruthless practice of power. Though Saddam no longer rules Iraq, the legacy of his reign is likely to shape Iraqi history for years to come. Part of the "Greenwood Biographies" series, this book provides biographical information on this important figure at a level appropriate for school students. Interest in Saddam Hussein is always high, and will remain so due to his forthcoming trial.
