| While it took over 8 months to finally track down a copy I can honestly say it was well worth the wait | When I learned that he was the man I had read about years before--the one who was forced into being a "body double" for Saddam Hussein's evil oldest son, Uday--I was intrigued enough to read the book he had written about his ghastly experiences |
|---|---|
| As a double for Uday Hussein, son and possible successor of Saddam, Latif witnessed acts of depravity and torture that almost sound like something out of a Marquis de Sade novel | So, recently, some of the more captivating material I've read has been about the Mafia, Seal Team Six, and the Hell's Angels and other biker gangs |
This book was out of print at the time but, unsurprisingly, has been reissued in the wake of the film's success.
1| We have become puppets manipulated by the regime's wanton fingers | If you were as fascinated by the movie as I was and you can manage to track down a copy , this book is nevertheless worth reading to provide a more in-depth perspective on the story that inspired it |
|---|---|
| Good book about the abuses of Uday the son of Saddam Hussein by his look a like | It reminds me of Terry Pratchett's "small gods" and what Death says about Vorbis [spoilers? In this book, you will know something that you might heard about it from having double for some people who are protecting them from danger |
Uday was a man without limits who took what he wanted and genunely enjoyed the suffering of others, when he bothered to care.
