OP I just heard an interesting topic on a BBC Radio4 programme about Saddam Hussein as a romantic novellist. Apparently, he has already published several novels, all based around rather obvious political allegories about kings and princes, etc. (the commentator described his style as "...interesting") The programme was suggesting that in fact, many leaders of the past, esecially those with the dispotic streak in them, have turned to some form of art as a form of justification for their actions - does anyone know of any examples?
