Mission: Blacklist #1 Book Synopsis Via Amazon:
Everyone has seen the footage: a heavily bearded Saddam Hussein
blinking under the bright lights of infantry cameras, dazed to find himself in
U.S. Army custody. Yet while the breaking news was broadcast around the world,
the story of the remarkable events leading up to that moment on December 13,
2003 has never before been fully told. Mission: Black List #1 offers the full,
behind-the-scenes account of the search for Saddam Hussein, as related by the
Army interrogator whose individual courage and sheer determination made the
capture possible. In July of 2003, Staff Sergeant Eric Maddox was deployed to
Baghdad alongside intelligence analysts and fellow interrogators. Their
assignment was clear: gather actionable intelligence – leads that could be used
to launch raids on High Value Targets within the insurgency. But, as Maddox
recounts, hunting for the hidden links in the terrorist network would require
bold and untested tactics, and the ability to never lose sight of the target,
often hiding in plain sight. After months of chasing down leads, following
hunches and interrogating literally hundreds of detainees, Sergeant Maddox
uncovered crucial details about the insurgency. In his final days in Iraq he
closed in on the dictator’s inner circle and, within hours of his departure
from the country, pinpointed the precise location of Saddam’s Tikrit spider
hole. Maddox’s candid and compelling narrative reveals the logic behind the
unique interrogation process he developed, and provides an insider’s look at
his psychologically subtle, non-violent methods. The result is a gripping,
moment-by-moment account of the historic mission that brought down Black List
#1.
