In the book of “Saddam Hussein Absolute ruler of Iraq”, by Rebecca Stefoff, the book is about Saddam Hussein, within the book it talks about when he was elected for the fifth president of Iraq, also talked all about his life growing up and adulthood. “Don't be attracted to easy paths because the paths that make your feet bleed are the only way to get ahead in life.” Saddam Hussein.
