Dear Reader
Baghdad Butcher is the first book of my nine book
“Janitors” series. The team—formed at
the end of this book—which does off the books (black bag) jobs directly for the
President doesn’t actually pick up the name “Janitors” until the second
book. Most of the main (good guys)
characters in all nine books have military backgrounds, with a few still active
duty military personnel included.
The time frame of the series runs from approximately nine
months prior to the 9/11 Islamic terrorist’s attack, through the next seven
plus years.
Dedication
This book is dedicated to
my lovely wife, Margaret, who has had to put up with my long hours in the
basement, typing away on my word processor.
Thanks for putting up with me, Maggie.
Forward
Saddam Hussein was
long known to have many doubles. Some
even suggest that his famous trip to the front lines during the Iran/Iraq war
was in fact accomplished by one of his doubles.
This book, in part, deals with the question of Saddam and his
doubles. A word of caution in reading
this novel…one of the conclusions herein may not be fully trusted. The question of Saddam and his doubles is
revisited in my next book, Back To Iraq, and in future books.
While this is a
book, and those to follow, are works of fiction, some of the events are based
on fact, and many of the characters are based on actual people. One incident and character are actually based
on the event of a real person in the Vietnam War, but moved to Desert Strom for
the age factor of the character to fit the time frame herein.
