This cover design was extra fun in a somewhat surreal way, partially because I have a strange fascination with Saddam Hussein. Staring into his unsettling eyes on the on the news was one of my very first memories (preceding that was 9/11. Yes, my childhood started off great). Hussein was my introduction to Evil, and he lived rent-free in baby Jenneth’s head for weeks.
So the book sounded absolutely fascinating, as it details the true events of Hussein’s private pilot, who turned out to be a spy for the Americans.
