Zabibah and the King is a novel published in 2000. The CIA believes that he wrote the novel though he could have been assisted by ghost writer. It is tells the story of a powerful ruler in medieval Iraq who fell in love with a common girl known as Zabibah.
In Zabibah and the King, Zabibah, the girl in this love story has a very cruel husband who even rapes her. The setting is in Tikrit around the 7th and 8th centuries. It is worth considering that Saddam came from Tikrit. There were rumors that it was adapted in a movie featuring Sacha Baron Cohen but it turned out to be false. The book was edited by Lawrence Robert in 2004.
The Fortified Castle is a 713 pages novel that was released in 2001. It is an allegory of a delayed wedding of a hero of the Iraq-Iran war. The hero is supposed to get married to a Kurdish girl. It features three main characters. Two of them are brothers named Mahmud and Sabah. They come from the rural western bank of Tigris River and are born of a farming family. The third character is Shatrin, a lady from Suleimaniya.
The three characters in The Fortified Castle are attending the same University of Baghdad. Sabah is an accomplished hero in the Iraq-Iran war. He got wounded in the war and ends up as a war captive. He manages to escape and take a few of his friends into freedom.
The Fortified Castle is a depiction of Iraq. The idea fronted in the text is the value of unity. The proposal to divide the property is met with resistance by the mother of the war hero. In her assertion, the value of properties in question cannot be quantified in monetary terms. She stands by the principle that only those who fought for it with their blood should have a share. The third publication was Men and the City which did not gain much popularity.
Begone Demons is loosely translated in English to mean Get Out You Cursed. CIA presumes that its completion was a day before US invasion into Iraq. The story is laden with Zionist-Christian propaganda against Arabs and Muslims. The plot features an attack on some twin towers, a mirror of what happened on September 11th in US. The author shows a clear Muslim-Christian conflict through selective and deliberate naming of characters within the plot.
Begone Demons was again published by Tokuma Shoten Publishing in Japan, Tokyo in 2006. Eight thousand copies were printed under the title Devils Dance. The Turkish translation was done by Humam Khalil. In Jordan, Raghad Hussein attempted to publish it by printing a hundred thousand copies. The government stopped the publication. It has since not be published or distributed in any other language.
