The man who spearheaded the mission to find the missing Iraqi dictator and bring him to justice, Army Staff Sergeant Eric Maddox tells the entire incredible story in Capturing Saddam. A gripping true tale of perseverance and expert military intelligence gathering without the use of torture, Capturing Saddam chronicles the hunt for Saddam Hussein in fascinating detail, shedding light on one of the most amazing operations of the War in Iraq—and one of the most intensive manhunts in history—ranging from the U.S. Army’s operations center in Baghdad to Saddam’s cramped and dusty spider hole in Tikrit.
When the shocking announcement of Saddam Hussein's capture was made on December 14, 2003, it brought to a close one of the most intensive manhunts in history. Army Staff Sergeant Eric Maddox, the young soldier who had spearheaded the search, was among the few people not surprised by the news. In his final moments in Iraq—having just broken the detainee who provided him with a map to Saddam's location through psychologically subtle, nonviolent interrogation—Maddox had requested his team undertake one last mission. The rest is history.
Bringing to light the full story of this remarkable successful mission and the hero whose daring, intelligence, instinct, and determination made it possible, Capturing Saddam is a fascinating, unvarnished chronicle of war.
