Saddam's Secrets (A Review)

Saddam's Secrets

by General Georges Sada


General Sada is a general in the Iraqi air force. He served loyally from 1968 through the mid-80s when he was forced to retire since he refused to join the Baath party.

He was called back to active duty for the first Gulf War and he was put in charge of many of the POWs. He single handedly saved all the POWs in his jurisdiction by refusing the demand of Qusay to have them all executed, even though he was thrown in prison and was going to be killed himself for it.

One of his accomplishments that he is proudest of is that of the 606 Kuwaiti POWs held in Iraq, the only one to survive Iraqi imprisonment and torture was the one under Sada's authority.

When we talk about great men we forget what greatness is at times, but how many lives did General Sada save by standing up to Saddam as he did, even though he risked his own life to do it.

It is not the best written book, Sada is a military man and English is not his first language, but it is easy to read and very interesting.

4 out of 5

You may notice that this was a different score yesterday, I didn't mean to type 5 out of 5, I just did for some reason, at least it is fixed now.

Also, with baseball season starting I know many of you are wondering how the Pirates will be doing and how my fantasy team (the Pie Rats) are. I will be having weekly reports on both of them so have no fear!

I so can not believe that you just outed yourself like that...a fantasy sports team? How big a geek are you?
