This is the first serious attempt to understand modern Iraq through
a close examination of the political discourse used by the Ba'th
regime and its leader, Saddam Hussein. By analyzing political
terms, concepts, and idioms as disseminated through the official
Iraqi mouthpieces, author Ofra Bengio illuminates Iraq's political
culture and the events that these expressions have both reflected
and shaped. Not only does this study add to our understanding of
the "Saddam enigma;" it also offers a more universal truth: that
under any regime, political culture is built on public discourse.
Saddam's Word will be of much interest to students of the
contemporary Middle East, as well as to all other observers of
Saddam Hussein and his regime.
