Revealing little-known facts about the personality and life of Saddam Hussein, the authors set the crisis against the backdrop of Arab political culture, imperial rivalry, and messianic ambition. This is an authoritative and incisive primer on the man and the nation at the center of the confrontation in the Persian Golf. -- Cover
