Ramadan resembled Saddam closely and after some minor plastic surgery he became the dictator's official double. ---Standing in for Saddam was lucrative but dangerous. There were several attempts on Ramadan's life in the years that followed. He also made enemies within. Decorated by Saddam after being wounded by a sniper during the war with Iran, Ramadan attracted the enmity of Udai, Saddam's sadistic and unstable oldest son. ---Following the murder of his wife and two children, Ramadan became involved in a Kurdish resistance movement, bent on overthrowing Saddam. On a visit to Kuwait during the Gulf War he was wounded and captured by US forces. While in hospital he became friendly with Sophie, an Iraqi-American army nurse. ---When an Iraqi unit attacked the camp and "rescued" Ramadan, they took Sophie too, for a little sport along the way. Back in Baghdad they were imprisoned and tortured. In due course, a Kurdish guerrilla force succeeded in freeing them, to be airlifted out of the country. They now live together in North America - in perpetual fear of retribution.
