Angels Among Us . . . Even in Iraq is a fascinating story of love and survival,
of how people can overcome any obstacle to fulfi ll a dream. In a highly
entertaining fashion, the American wife of a prominent member of
Saddam Hussein's political hierarchy chronicles her life in Iraq until
she and her family dramatically escape after an attempted assassination
of her husband during Saddam's purge following Desert Storm. Dr.
Taha Al Baka, a former Iraqi government minister, comments, "If you
are among those Americans who care about their democratic freedoms,
constitutional government and due process of law, then you should
read this book. You will have a greater appreciation of your country
and a greater resolve to guard the basic principles on which it was
founded."
