Ba'thists from Iraq as I knew them by Jihad Karam, 2010 edition, pages: 294 pages

About his writing, Karam says: "I chose those whom I knew, or worked with, and with whom bonds of love, familiarity, and friendship have strengthened. Based on that, I committed not to express any opinion about any personality in the party or the state, no matter their status, unless I had had close contact with them, or knew them intimately, or communicated with them, for many years. I hope through this effort to connect the personal components, and thus the intrinsic value of the responsible person and their achievements at the level of secret revolutionary work, or responsibility when the Ba'ath Party took power in the two phases: the first (14 Ramadan) 8 February until 18 November 1963. The second from 17 July 1968 until 22 March 2003."
