In 2003, after returning from a month-long stay in Baghdad, Paul Chan was given a gift from a colleague in the human-rights group Voices of the Wilderness: a copy of three speeches on democracy written by Saddam Hussein in the 1970s. This book uses those speeches as a departure point to reflect on how promises of freedom and security can mask the reality of repressive regimes.
