Tom Clancy meets Leo Strauss with a dash of homoeroticism. Basically, it's the life story of Uday Hussein, as told through the eyes of a fictitious sister, Pussay. It begins with Uday as a dictator's spoiled kid and follows him as he grows into a dictator's psychotic son whom everyone fears. His idea of a good time is shooting live ammunition into restaurants' chandeliers. That or kidnapping young Iraqi women off the street. Not a very sympathetic character. Sort of Veruca Salt meets Sonny Corleone meets Scarface meets Caligula.
