Saddam Hussein is a controversial figure who led Iraq between 1979 and 2003. He projected himself as Iraq’s most influential leader, and a courageous moderniser, and is regarded by some as a resolute leader who challenged Western imperialism. However, he used fear, intimidation and violence to hold his power, and his repressive regime killed thousands of people. In this video we look at his life and his rise and fall from power.
