Saddam Hussein is shown riding a horse clutching a screaming woman. The woman wears a dress with the word 'Kuwait' written upon it. Saddam is followed by a group of men riding horses. On the horizon oil fields and a palatial city is visible. The poster was produced in response to the First Gulf War (1990-91).
