Summary: A Timely Biography of a Vile Gangster
Comment: Con Coughlin's biography of Saddam Hussein is very well written. Coughlin eloquently reveals Saddam Hussein's true colors - colors that should dispel the liberal illusion that regime change in Iraq was wrong. In addition, Coughlin writes for London's Sunday Telegraph. His reporting is top-notch, his insights invaluable. A recent report of his was that of a hand written memo discovered by the Iraqi Governing Council addressed to Saddam Hussein, written by Tahir Jalil Habbush al-Tikriti, saying that Mohammed Atta (chief 9/11 hijacker) has completed his training w/Abu Nidal in Baghdad and is now ready to "destroy the targets we seek to destroy". The truth hurts - especially for liberal propagandists. This book is a succint and eloquent biography of one of history's most egregious tyrants.

Summary: This book is a sham
Comment: I recently purchased Con Coughlin's Saddam: King of Terror after reading Saddam Hussein: A Political Biogrpahy by Efraim Karsh and Inauri Rautsi. When I began reading Coughlin's book, certain phrases sounded rather familiar. Most of the material covered is exactly the same as Karsh and Rautsi's book with only a few minor differences. But far more importantly, on further investigation I found, without question, Mr. Coughlin is guilty of flat-out plagiarism. Whole phrases and passages are taken virtually word for word (and in some cases exactly word for word, without even adjusting the phrasing) from Karsh and Rautsi's Saddam Hussein: A Political Biography. For example, if you have access to a copy of Karsh and Rautsi's book, compare p. 153, (third paragraph) with Coughlin's p. 194 from the middle of the first full paragraph, beginning with "This guns-and-butter policy..." It's a shameless straight plagiarism! Notice Coughlin's book has no reviews on the back cover, an obvious tipoff to the dubious nature of this sham of a book. It is obvious that Coughlin has recycled, and in some instances blatantly plagiarized information that was carefully researched by other authors. Don't spend $27 on this book. I recommend Efraim Karsh and Inauri Rautsi's Saddam Hussein: A Political Biography.

Summary: Con Coughlin Reveals Saddam For He (it) is
Comment: This is the book that has explained the images on CNN to me as a teenager and then as an adult, during the two invasions of Iraq. It has also been a source of my support for the war against the leadership of Iraq and not the Iraqi's, despite the questionable weapons of mass destruction. Through Con Coughlin's excellent text, I have realized that this person, who cannot be reached through diplomacy, everyday common-sense reason, the threat of extermination or even basic human sentiment, might quite well be mentally deranged and in denial.
Here the origins of Saddam is summarily written, amazingly without judgement and with impartiality by Con.
If any text seems slanderous to the reader, it's probably because it's the truth and you wish not to accept it.
Thanks Con!
