Mayada : Daughter Of Iraq - One woman's survival in Saddam Hussein's torture jail
Author(s): Jean Sasson
Mayada was born into a powerful Iraqi family. When Saddam Hussein seized power, Mayada found herself alone in Baghdad, a divorced parent, earning a meagre living, until one morning when she was dragged to the notorious Baladiyat Prison, falsely accused of printing anti-government propaganda and thrown into a cell with seventeen 'shadow women'. Not only the story of a woman intimately connected to Iraq's cultured, ancient history, this book is a powerful witness to the horror wrought by Saddam on the souls of Iraq's ordinary citizens. From the bestselling author of Princess.
