Few dictators captivated the world’s attention like Saddam Hussein. As President of Iraq, he reigned as a strongman leader who brought stability to his nation. For a period, he also brought great prosperity and glory to the country. But all this came at a price as a cult of personality emerged in which ordinary Iraqis were required to almost worship Saddam or suffer the consequences. His totalitarian state ensured that millions of Iraqis lived in constant fear of falling foul of the regime. At the same time, Saddam made decisions that took the country to the brink of ruin. Despite the fact he held an entire nation hostage to his will and whims, remarkably, he is often remembered nowadays in a positive light. Join me as I explore the life of Saddam Hussein to try to understand how such a development could take place!
