Date: June 14th, 2025 5:14 PM Author: Trump Tariffs Can Do No Wrong (TDNW) In *Brighter Than the Baghdad Sun* by Shyam Bhatia and Daniel McGrory, Saddam Hussein’s two sons, Uday and Qusay, are depicted as integral to their father’s regime but also as sources of chaos and betrayal. Uday, the elder son, is portrayed as volatile, sadistic, and erratic, with a reputation for extreme violence and debauchery. His reckless behavior, including lavish spending and brutal acts, created tensions within the family and regime, undermining Saddam’s control. Qusay, the younger son, is presented as more disciplined and calculating, often trusted with sensitive tasks, including overseeing security and intelligence operations. However, both sons are implicated in the book’s account of internal family feuds and betrayals, with Saddam’s paranoia leading to their temporary arrest in the 1990s, a shocking move that highlighted his distrust even of his closest kin. The authors suggest that their involvement in Saddam’s secretive nuclear program and illicit financial networks further complicated the regime’s stability, as their greed and rivalries fueled corruption and infighting. While the book paints a vivid picture of their roles, it has faced criticism for occasionally blending fact with speculation about the brothers’ specific actions.
