Finally Saddam has been captured from a pit hole in the town of Adwar, ten miles south of Tikrit, which ended one of the most intense manhunts in history. This book gives in detail the life and times of Saddam from a child who used to sell watermelons and cigerattes at the road-side to the fearsome dictator who ruled Iraq for over twenty years. The man who is responsible for the killing of 5,000 civilians and crushing of any rebellion which tried to dethrone him. In these twenty years he fought two wars, one for eight years with Iran and other with Kuwait which left him weaker and poor.

This book presents the life of a man who was once a lion but was caught like a rat, the man disguised and defeated in the end.
