The listing, Mayada, Daughter of Iraq by Jean Sasson has ended.
"One Woman's Survival Under Saddam Hussein".
Mayada is by Jean Sasson, a New York Times Bestselling Author of Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia.
Mayada was from a distinguished and honored family in Iraq. One grandfather fought alongside Lawrence of Arabia, the other was an Arab nationalist admired greatly by Saddam Hussein. Her uncle was prime minister of Iraq for nearly 40 years and her mother an important government official.
Mayada knew Saddam Hussein. Nevertheless, in 1999 she was arrested under his regime and thrown in prison. This book is poignant, and graphic at times. Mayada had met Jean Sasson in 1998, and later shared her story through her.
