A novel that the CIA of the United States studied for many days a novel that made the British exclaim "Saddam has hit London" a novel that excited the entire country of Iraq. On February 12, 2000, President Saddam Hussein (May Allah protect him) met with several Iraqi writers, asking them to write some long novels so that they would have enough creative space to interpret life's events through the plot of the novels. In other words, writers should closely link the story of the novel with daily family life, making the novel achieve the level of fighting enemy planes with machine guns. Saddam told them: When you write, your descriptions should be more detailed, allowing readers to gain new knowledge about history, society, psychology, and the like that they have never known before. You can write about women or men, the elderly or the young, sick people or healthy ones, or the feelings of soldiers returning from the front line on leave or returning home to the front line again. In this way, readers not only read the novel but can also retell the story to others based on the central theme of the novel and the various reflections on the complexities of life in the novel. Najib Ghyur understood the high wisdom of this Iraqi hero and remembered a story he heard from an old woman in his childhood. In those days, there were no TVs, no radios, no movies, and no electricity at all, yet the stories of the old grandmothers and grandfathers were so rich! So, he recorded this story, making some minor additions, and it became the novel presented to the readers now. However, out of humility, he was reluctant to sign his name. He was like all the great figures of Iraq, dedicating everything precious in his life but unwilling to mention his own greatness. Therefore, the author of this novel is signed as "Author."
