The Psychological Assessment of Political Leaders

With Profiles of Saddam Hussein and Bill Clinton:

• Review:: 'Curious Coupling Of all persons to be paired in a remote manner by psychological review, it's interesting that the author should explore the personalities of these two prominent persons while both are alive, and in theory, able to defend themselves. While Hussain may not have been available previously upon the initial writing, the fact that he is now in custody makes the analysis considerably more pertinent in view of recent news reports and discussion about what to do with him. While it is not the pairing that most would imagine could produce the height of contrast given the monstrous depiction of Hussain's crimes, the concept of evaluating the psychological profiles of leaders who wield such enormous power by their charisma as well as their position in world events is an admirable endeavor, and may well aid us in choosing talented leaders with great vision, and hence, great potential to either help or harm the world in due measure. Certainly, such a projection by perspective may lead to evaluation of other important figures in positions of influence, either in government or in business with decidedly greater opportunity to see where or by whom the nation is being guided, and in what direction. It may even prove useful for many in Congress who seek to leverage their positions of influence in certain directions, or who may use them to stall and thwart legislation recognized to be important or urgent. Could this pattern also apply to the Supreme Court to greatly increase the degree of scrutiny by which our "elected" leaders govern themselves? What a prospect! Imagine the secrets that would unfold given the nature of egos that inhabit our universe and where they seem to congregate and preside. These eyepopping examinations may provide entirely new perspectives and responsibilities when it comes to elections, giving us both foresight and more than a little hindsight. Surely, pairing these two between the covers of this anthology meets that criteria well.
• Review:: 'Read This If You Want a True Insight into Saddam Hussein Like the first reviewer, I too watched Post on C-Span describing his studies and answering questions. Unlike the first reviewer, I was struck by Post's professionalism, wisdom and mastery of his subject. He was also, quite righly, unwilling to be drawn into political debate, although some questioners attempted to goad him into it by making outrageous statements of political fiction disguised as questions.

  I feel the first reviewer is biased and even admits to not having read the book.

  This is a book that should be read be every thinking person who has an interest in world conflict and how the psychological make- up of leaders effects the conduct of their policies and administrations.

  His description of Saddam Hussein, compiled after years of meticulous research and interviews, shows how a miserable childhood combined with a specific psychological make-up can produce a "malignant narcissist", who is a danger to everyone around him. It shows that trying to "give him a chance to reform", is a policy that is bound to fail, because it will only fan his delusions further. SH is not, according to Post a madman but a calculating planner with clear goals and objectives. SH is also, it seems, a murderous sociopath.

  This book is like having the play-book on SH. It enables us to understand what he does, why he does it and how he is likely to react to events and to the pressure brought to bear on him by military action. It enables one to gain an insight into events beyond the polemic of political debate.

  READ IT!

• Review:: 'Questioning Objectivity I suspect that the review by Amanda Kane hits the nail on the head. I have not read this book but just finished seeing a talk by this author about his book on C-Span.

  I saw bits and parts of his talk, but it was not holding my interest as I was hearing mostly "the same old stuff" about Saddam. I saw mainly the question and answer period.

  The book title shown on the screen was only the first half of the title, the more general "The Psychological Assessment of Political Leaders."

  I heard him mainly discussing Saddam Hussein in a world context.
  Someone asked him whether he had done a profile on Bush and Sharon. I was struck by the abruptness of his reply, about Bush, that he restricts himself to foreign leaders, and about Sharon, bruskly, no he hasn't done him.

  My alarm bells of "What is his political bent vs. objective scientific study" immediately went off.

  This was compounded when the camera finally panned to the view of his book, the title in full and the picture of Bill Clinton.

  Following this he was asked about a profile of Arafat, which he happily answered.

  I came to the Amazon site interested in find out more. I did, enough to know that this is not a book on which I would waste my time.

Mayada, Daughter of Iraq- One Woman's Survival Under Saddam Hussein

Mayada, Daughter of Iraq

One Woman's Survival Under Saddam Hussein:

• Review:: 'Incredibly Moving This book is about one woman's experiences living in Iraq. She's arrested and as she is in jail, she reflects upon her life in Iraq and shares some of her experiences with the shadow women. Conditions in the prison were very harsh, and while she is tortured, the writer manages to convey the horror of the torture in the prison without being disturbingly graphic. Once I started reading this book I couldn't put it down. I had to read through to Mayada's conclusion. It's been four days since I read this book and the story has stayed with me. This book is a one woman's view of what living in Iraq has been like over the course of her lifetime. It's a very moving book.
• Review:: 'Why Read This Book? While quickly scanning through my local paper as so often is my usual nature, my eyes came upon a column written by a woman whose last name was Parker. This columnist related some brief information about the book and the author. She was reading it herself. It went on to say that no other networks besides Fox cared to grant Mayada an interview which made me wonder why. Why was she less important than some other trivial interviews which had so often been done before? Did they think that most of us could not determine for ourselves if we wanted to read her book after listening to her own voice? After reading a little from it here on Amazon, the thirst for more was too strong. Jean Sasson allows this woman to speak to all who will explore its pages. We did not choose where we were born. What if Iraq had been our home? That fact was not far from my mind as the words on its pages pulled me inside further and further like a helpless fish on a hook. Mayada tells the stories of others whom she met while in prison. As one reads through this book, how can the heart not be touched? Mayada is the best one to speak for those in that prison cell who had no voice. You are drawn into the quicksand of humanity to which there seems no excape until it is completely read. As you read it, imagine what if you had been there in that prison? What crime had she committed that brought her to that place? What kind of treatment would she receive? Would her children be told where she had been taken? How long and by what method would she get out of there? These were questions which needed to be answered. Only by me reading it could they be answered. There is history for the historian. There is poverty for the impoverished ones. There is riches for the wealthy. There is is religion for the religious. There is cruelty for those who are cruel. All these elements can be found inside this book by Jean P. Sasson concerning Mayada Daughter of Iraq For those who do not curse nor like to read such words, the cursing is limited to three incidents of the same word. The word "God" is used more than the other curse word in a way of disrespect that may offend Christians who revere the name. Understand who and why these individuals are using these words. They are used in a historical way.
• Review:: '"Frequent Reference to GW?" HOGWASH! When glancing over the various comments, I can't help but be startled at Sean 44 stating "Freqent reference to GW goal of liberation Iraq was annoying." That's a very misleading and even untrue statement Sean. Other than the last few pages of the book, the entire book is set several years before the 2003 invasion to topple Saddam. Not a word of "liberation" is mentioned because no one even knew such a thing would happen in 1999 when Mayada was imprisoned and later fled her country. The last few pages of the book deal with Mayada's reaction to Saddam being toppled, and her glee that happened and her happiness that SOMEBODY got rid of Saddam. She wouldn't have cared if it were the French, the English, or even a coup in the country, she lived in Iraq for her entire life and saw what his rule had done for her country and countrymen... She simply wanted him GONE... Although everyone is disappointed in the turn of events and the ongoing violence, few would want Saddam back. There were too many people who suffered dreadfully under Saddam, and if they lived there, they are the ones who have the rights to express an opinion on Saddam. So, don't write such misleading statements. One would think the book was filled with GW topics, but that is NOT the case. It is a book about some very brave women who suffered horribly in Cell 52. If you don't like the book, then that is just fine, as everyone has a right to their opinion, but to say something completely false for the obvious purpose to mislead other readers, that is not your right. And, I should know that the book does NOT have "frequent reference to GW goal of liberating Iraq," because I am the one who wrote the book! Those feelings shared by Mayada are only in the very last few pages of the book, and she certainly had a right to express her opinion in a book written about her! And I'm giving the book 5 stars because of the brave women I wrote about... They all deserve 5 stars for courage!
• Review:: 'It's OK Based on the reviews I was expecting this book to really draw me in, but I found myself skimming parts hoping I'd move on to something more interesting. Some of the stories are absolutely heartbreaking, but the reviewer below is right when he calls it a "hodgepodge" with no character development. The book is OK, but nothing great, and the frequent reference to GW Bush's goal of 'liberating Iraq' is annoying to say the least.
• Review:: 'real people not characters i have read h. hassan's review and am perplexed. perhaps my memory is more receptive but i remember the names of the real women(not characters) in cell 52 together with the real sufferings reported in the book. mayada symbolises the sufferings of the noble iraqi people and their victory over tyranny.the book vividly recounts the humiliation suffered by young and old due to the whims of the hot air filled dictators who used atrocious violence to keep themselves in power. but real life is a circle. the mighty are fallen and are now seen in their real guise. how many of us knew what was really going on in Iraq? i recomend this book to anybody who has real freedom at heart.
