"The Lion of Babylon: The Tale of Power and Dust" is a hauntingly poetic and deeply political journey through the rise and fall of one of the most controversial figures of the 20th century — Saddam Hussein.

From the dust of Tikrit to the golden palaces of Baghdad, from ruthless ambition to a lonely execution chamber, this novel brings you face-to-face with a man both revered and reviled.

Crafted with powerful prose and rhyming echoes, this is not just a biography — it's a fictional retelling, a human study of power, fear, loyalty, betrayal, and fate.

Through ten intense chapters, you will walk beside a boy who became a dictator… a dictator who became a ghost… and a ghost who smiled before he vanished.

> "He rose from the dust. He ruled with fear.
And as the rope tightened, he smiled — not in defeat, but in defiance."
