Synopsis

Hollywood Hussein's hilariously scathing depiction of the events surrounding Saddam's capture not only will have you laughing, but the book's shocking final twist will also make you question everything you see on the news, not to mention the next thing you hear out of a politician's mouth.

Told through the first-person accounts of those who conspired to pull off "Operation Hollywood," the story is told in the imagined words of a diverse cast of both fictional and real-life characters, including George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Arnold Schwarzenegger, reality TV producer Mark Burnett, "professional celebrity" Paris Hilton, and last but not least Saddam Hussein.

"Extra", Anchor - Dayna Devon

"Since Hollywood and politics have collided in the real world, Hollywood Hussein is a clever and humorous look at how politicians are taking a page out of celebrity. With George Bush, Arnold and Saddam all thrown in together in this hilarious satire, it makes for an original and entertaining read."
