Saddam novel is 'good v evil'

Saddam Hussein’s new novel returns to his favourite theme of good v evil – the good being Arabs and Muslims, the bad being the West.

The first excerpt of Get Out, You Damned, the manuscript of which was found in the Ministry of Culture after Baghdad’s fall, appeared in Asharq al-Awsat, a London-based Arab newspaper, in Cairo. The paper said it would publish the entire novel over the next several days.
