The Weight of a Mustard Seed: The Intimate Story of an Iraqi General and His Family During Thirty Years of Tyranny
The Weight of a Mustard Seed: The Intimate Story of an Iraqi General and His Family During Thirty Years of Tyranny

Impressive writing by someone who was able to sneak around, bravely I might add, throughout the violent streets, alleys and neighborhoods of occupied Iraq. For some, as I see in other reviews, the back and forth caused a little difficulty. But for me, after patiently reading through the first couple of chapters caught the tenor of the book.
We really take off when she is interviewing and visiting the family of the General Kamel Sachet, we wonder, where is he all along the discussion. We hear of his exploits from his family and even a faint reminder of one positive battle that made him a hero in Iraq's drawn out war with Iran.
As we weave through the many personalities to find and get an almost 360 degree review of him (well, a true 360 would include Saddam.) It was fascinated by the depth of information we get about, not only Colonel Sachet, but of the wars and slow destruction of Iraqi society. How one man, and his family, could control so many disparate and desperate peoples and to see a country that had pride go into such utter chaos. Really, if history is to be read to avoid such things from happening, there are so very many lessons here.
The Weight of a Mustard Seed is written with such passion for the peoples involved and as Steavenson shows us, the story is not yet complete.
