In the Shadow of Saddam

In the Shadow of Saddam is the first novel by Mikhael Ramadan. The book is a collection of memories. Ramadan, who claims to be an Iraqi defector and former Saddam Hussein's body double, asserts in the book that in 1997, Hussein had ordered to develop "a highly virulent strain of West Nile virus as a bioterrorist weapon" capable to kill 97% of population in an urban environment.
