This is the first serious attempt to understand modern Iraq through a close examination of the political discourse used by the Ba´th regime and its leader, Saddam Hussein. By analyzing political terms, concepts, and idioms as disseminated through the official Iraqi mouthpieces, author Ofra Bengio illuminates Iraq´s political culture and the events that these expressions have both reflected and shaped. Not only does this study add to our understanding of the ´´Saddam enigma;´´ it also offers a more universal truth: that under any regime, political culture is built on public discourse. Saddam´s Word will be of much interest to students of the contemporary Middle East, as well as to all other observers of Saddam Hussein and his regime.
