The Rise of Babylon: Sign of the End Times

Description

Newspaper clipping in frontispiece: " 'UNDER PRESIDENT SADDAM HUSSEIN, one of the ancient world's most legendary cities has begun to rise again. More than an archaeological venture, the new Babylon is self-consciously dedicated to the idea that Nebuchadnezzar has a successor in Mr. Hussein, whose military prowess and vision will restore to Iraqis the glory their ancestors knew when all of what is now Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, and Israel was under Babylonian control.'
