Men and the City (Arabic: رجال ومدينة rujjāl wa-madīna) is a 320-page[1] novel by former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein[2] which was published in 2002.

The work was largely autobiographical in nature and describes how Saddam Hussein's grandfather fought the Turks during the Ottoman Empire.

[3] It also focuses on the rise of the Ba'ath Party and several of Saddam's relatives including his uncle.

[6] Although there are some suggestions that the text was ghost written, a review of Men and the City by Sa'adoon Al-Zubaydi, Saddam Hussein's presidential translator, confirms that Saddam was indeed the author: Often the text is illegible.

[3] Before the 2003 Invasion of Iraq, Men and the City along with two of Saddam's other novels Zabibah and the King and The Fortified Castle were put on the syllabus of Iraqi schools.
