Topics
Will Badenwerfer:萨达姆·侯赛因是一个极度不愿失败的人,即使是在钓鱼这样轻松的活动中也能体现出来。这反映了他性格中好胜、不甘示弱的一面,也预示了他日后在政治斗争中不择手段的作风。 Dr. Ali Ali:海湾战争中,多国部队拥有绝对的军事优势,先进的卫星技术和空军力量使得伊拉克军队不堪一击。这场战争的胜利在很大程度上是预料之中的,伊拉克的失败是不可避免的。 Alex von Tunzelmann:海湾战争更像是一场媒体精心策划的模拟战争,而非真正的战争。多国部队控制了媒体的叙事,战争的结局从一开始就已注定。 James Hyder:萨达姆·侯赛因的宫殿装饰奢华,充满奇特的艺术品,这与伊拉克人民在经济制裁下的贫困生活形成了鲜明对比,反映了他个人极度享乐和对权力的挥霍。 Professor Juman Kubber:萨达姆·侯赛因为了巩固权力,利用宗教来团结人民,这体现了他权谋策略的转变。 Professor Joseph Sassoon:萨达姆·侯赛因的“全国信仰运动”是出于政治目的,而非真心的宗教信仰。他利用宗教来控制人民,巩固自己的统治。 Daniel Calder:萨达姆·侯赛因的小说《扎比巴和国王》反映了他作为独裁者的孤独和恐惧,以及他内心深处对权力的渴望和对自身命运的担忧。 Dr. Ali Ali:2001年,伊拉克的压迫有所减轻,但十年经济制裁对伊拉克的基础设施和经济造成了长期影响,人民生活依然艰难。

As economic sanctions bite, Saddam treats himself to a bit of retail therapy. All the while, his sons are becoming terrifying figures in their own right. A family crisis is about to snowball into a murderous feud…
