520 _aThis book offers the reader a thorough examination of the rise of Saddam Hussein, his conversin of Iraq into one of the world's more Orwellian states, the reasons for his invasion of Kuwait, and the considerable threat he posses for the stability of the Middle East. 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
