Op 2 augustus 1990 viel Saddam Hoessein Koeweit binnen en daarmee raakte de wereld in de ernstigste crisis sinds de Koude Oorlog. Een crisis die niet alleen haar invloed op de economie in het Westen heeft, maar ook de pas begonnen omwentelingen in Oost-Europa en de armere landen van Midden-Amerika, Zuid-Azië en Afrika treft. Wie is Saddam Hoessein eigenlijk? Een moderne Hitler, de ontoerekeningsvatbare 'Slager van Bagdad' of een meedogenloze, sluwe en slimme schurk die het Midden-Oosten en het Westen wil domineren door controle op de olietoevoer? Deze onthullende biografie van jouraliste Judith Miller en Midden-Oostenspecialiste Laurie Myrloie biedt een grondige analyse van de opkomst van Saddam Hoessein, zijn karakter en persoonlijkheid, de manier waarop hij de Iraakse samenleving heeft omgevormd, zijn beweegredenen voor de inval in Koeweit en de dreiging die hij vormt voor de stabiliteit in het Midden-Oosten; Een verhelderend licht op de man en de natie achter de crisis in de Perzische Golf.
