Self-published author Moussa Jassem relives a dark decade in the lives of the Iraqis as he renders to print the harrowing events before the fall of Saddam Husseins regime.

Made available through Xlibris, The Lie is a poignant tale of violence, fear, and deceit as seen through the eyes of a person involved, once a victim of war—the author himself.

Told from a unique angle, The Lie recreates the atmosphere of uncertainty, chaos, and turmoil in Iraq 2003. Readers will follow Moussa on his and his friends' endeavors during this painful period.

One of his friends, Mustafa, joins the intelligence department, gets injured during the war, and holds a deep secret—a lie, from the little details to the biggest—which is never meant to be revealed. How great this secret is and its importance for the people of Iraq awaits readers in this true and poignant tale.

Emotion-stirring, The Lie serves as an inspiration for those who have been victimized during the Iraq attacks. It is also a wake-up call and a reminder for all nations to stop the wars and unite as one peaceful world.
