Baghdad Blues:The Revolution That Brought Saddam Hussien to Power,
By avid reader (Los Angeles, Calif.) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Baghdad Blues: The Revolution That Brought Saddam Hussien to Power (Paperback)
This book is based on the real life experience of a black man posted to Baghdad in the late 1950's and employed by the US Information Bureau. His white colleagues are totally out of touch with the emerging political unrest protesting the corrupt royalist regime and when the revolution erupts, the US embassy is shocked. The king it supports is killed and the entire city of Baghdad is plunged into political chaos and violence.
Sam Greenlee is a most engaging story teller...a very interesting read! Gives insight into Saddam Hussein's ability to rise to power given the preceeding historical events. |
