Product Description

The Rants, Raves & Thoughts of Saddam Hussein is the latest title in a brand new series of thoughtful, and thought-provoking titles dealing with some of the less appealing dictators and terrorists of our time. The goals and inspirations of this new series on the modern world's terrorists and dictators is to explain, in their own words and in the words of others, what makes them so ruthless. The books demonstrate what a talented group of free-thinking writers and graphic designers can do with access to a database of information and a limitless imagination about how to let the words of these powerful, psychotic people reveal who they are, what they believe and what they hope to achieve. The Rants, Raves & Thoughts of Saddam Hussein lets you step inside the head of Iraq's notorious strongman, from his views on justice, assassination, women, Kuwait, capitalism and dying like a hero.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but flawed, January 23, 2003

By	Richard Durbin (Canton, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The quotes in this book give you a good window to the hypocracy of Saddam Hussein. However the graphic design takes away from its utility. This is a book meant for decoration, but not actually to be read. It seems as if the graphic designer went mad while laying out this piece. Fortunately this is a small light book, or you would get a real workout spinning it about to read it page to page.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent tongue-in-cheek spin on Evil Incarnate, June 27, 2002

By	Alexander M. Moir "Lt. Moir" (Vero Beach, FL and Huntington, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Put together to look like a cute little coffee house quote book, complete with upsidedown and diagonal text, colors, jokes and cartoons, it's refreshing sometimes to step out of our seriousness and laugh at men like Saddam. He probably is the most dangerous man in the world, but when we can look at his "wisdom" we get to see a bit of his madness while we snicker at his would-be profundity. Also in this series are Khaddafy, Castro and Bin Laden. Collect them all.
