Larry writes about his account of dealing with the man often referred to as a psychopath, the CIA, a palace full of guards with machine guns, and visiting Babylon. The conversations about American culture and Uday Husseins very surprising views, to getting the behind the scenes account at the palace as a World War begins. Larrys account of being the only American allowed into Iraq and hypnotizing the son of the most feared family in the World, will keep you in suspense.

[Ali Khalessi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Still, many questions remained unanswered for me about the whole story and I guess that I would never find the right answer but definitely this one worth reading. It opens another window towards knowing the dictator's minds in middle-east and reveals soft parts of their characters. However, we all know that white and black is a myth and a critical mind must compare and find different shades of gray in such personalities. As a half Iraqi half Irani, I am familiar with both cultures and this book helps me to see new aspects of human personality and my own cultural background.
