The House of Baghdad

More about the book

Amidst a crop of books about Iraq and its bloody 'liberation' by Western invasion, THE HOUSE OF BAGHDAD stands alone as a welcome relief to the many readers, searching for that much needed and ever elusive smile. Only an Author with Tony Sharp's imagination and brand of black humour could have written this story BEFORE the awful events of September 11th 2001 while turning the pursuit of a dangerous ex-Head of State into a comic strip cartoon, worthy of his late Mother's maiden name of Disney. A ruthless Iraqi dictator is deposed, and escapes to Brazil to contemplate his future and that of the world. A sexual excursion with the President's wife aside, his driving force is a burning desire to return to power in his own country and by insidious means launch a surprise nuclear attack on America. Who will stop him? Meanwhile, in Iraq itself, the pace of change quickens. Free elections are held, and a Parliamentary Assembly is set up. As bets are placed across the World on democracy's likely survival, American TV Producer, Dan Levy, scoops the most exciting soap ever.
