The narrative explores the rise and fall of Saddam Hussein, who ruled Iraq from 1979, using terror as a means of control. His presidency was marked by three significant wars: the Iran-Iraq War, the invasion of Kuwait, and the Gulf War. Following the September 11 attacks, the U.S. initiated the war against Iraq in 2003, leading to Hussein's capture and the symbolic destruction of his statue in Firdos Square. The book also addresses his subsequent transfer to Iraqi custody and the legal repercussions for his regime's atrocities.
