Saddam Hussein's Secret Vice President

Saddam rises through the ranks of the bath party and in July 17th 1968 he helps to launch a coup that finally puts his party in power. Here's a quote from a book about how that morning went down: He began by bringing out all of the weapons and uniforms he had hidden in the house. His wife Sajida helped in the preparations as did their son Uday who ran around the room picking up hand grenades from the floor Bringing them one by one to his father as if they were toys.
