2003 - Novel

America entered Iraq. The war began. Saddam Hussein went into hiding, orchestrating events behind the scenes. But he would suddenly appear in the middle of the night at a dentist's office, complaining of a toothache. From the window overlooking Firdos Square, he would witness the scene unfolding before him, his own regime. Before the clinic was seized, he would leave the dentist a thank-you note bearing his name—a note that would later prove costly for the dentist in American prisons. This compelling narrative transcends mere historical accounts, delving into the dynamics of politics and the forces controlling Iraq. It goes back to the broader conflicts and struggles of the region, exploring the papers of his grandfather, who served in the Ottoman army, supplied Arab countries with weapons needed for the decisive battle against colonialism, maintained ties with the Nazi movement, and even devised a scheme to sell land to the Palestinian Authority in Palestine.
The new author traces the conflicting achievements through the papers he left behind, illuminating the unfolding events in the volatile region, and his own fate, which will inevitably be bleak against the backdrop of all this. A lost generation with lost dreams hands over a lost country to a new, equally lost generation. A novel rich on a historical and political level, and compelling on a personal level through the stories of its protagonists. America invaded Iraq. The war rages on. Saddam, secretly, directs operations from behind the scenes. But suddenly, in the middle of a particular night, he appears at a dentist's office due to a toothache, and from the window overlooking Firdos Square, he witnesses the collapse of his statue and his regime. However, before leaving the clinic, he leaves a thank-you note signed with his name, which will cost the dentist dearly in American prisons. It is a captivating, fragmented novel that transcends the mere recounting of events to delve into the dynamics of politics and the controlling forces in Iraq. This is due to his family roots and regional conflicts, as revealed in the papers left by his grandfather, who served in the Ottoman army, worked to supply Arab countries with the weapons necessary for the decisive battle against colonialism, established relations with the Nazi leadership at that time, and then became involved in selling land to the Jewish Agency in Palestine...
