Saddam Hussein's novel "Devil's Dance" to hit Japanese bookstores.
(From AP Worldstream)
Byline: KOZO MIZOGUCHI
A Japanese publisher said Friday his company will become the first in the world to put out a novel supposedly completed by Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein the day before the U.S. invasion that ended his reign.
The book, to be titled "Akuma No Dance" (Devil's Dance) in Japan, will be published by the Tokyo-based Tokuma Shoten Publishing Co. next Friday, said the company's senior editorial official, Koichi Chikaraishi.
Jordan last year banned publication of the novel, known there as "Get Out, Damned One," due to political concerns. It depicts a tribe living on the Euphrates River 1,500 years ago that succeeds in ousting an invading tribe through resistance.
Chakaraishi said the manuscript of the novel was carried out of Iraq by Saddam's eldest daughter, Raghad, when she fled to Jordan just before the U.S.-led invasion was launched.
Raghad has said previously her father finished the novel on March 18, 2003 _ a day before the war began.
