This book offers the complete, 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. This book offers the complete, behind-the-scenes account of the search for Saddam Hussein. 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, nonviolent methods. The result is a gripping, moment-by-moment account of the historic mission that brought down Black List #1. Eric Maddox is an American public speaker, author and former special operations soldier. He was attached to a Delta Force Special Operations team in Tikrit that was part of the Joint Special Operations Command responsible for tracking down the most wanted men in Iraq. During his six month tour with this Delta Force team, Eric conducted over 300 interrogations and collected intelligence which directly led to the capture of Saddam Hussein. Maddox enlisted as an infantry paratrooper for the 82nd Airborne Division. He became a jumpmaster and entered Ranger School. After spending three years as a paratrooper with a Ranger tab, Maddox reenlisted as an interrogator and Chinese Mandarin linguist. In 2003, three months after U.S. forces invaded Iraq, Maddox received orders to report to the Baghdad International Airport. There he was assigned to a Delta Force Special Operations team in Tikrit. Maddox created a unique methodology and technique for interrogation, which directly led to the capture of Saddam Hussein. Maddox teaches this unique methodology called 'Empathy Based Listening'. Maddox was awarded the Legion of Merit, the National Intelligence Medal of Achievement, the Defense Intelligence Agency's Director's Award and the Bronze Star. DAVIN SEAY is the son of a career naval officer. The author of ten books and co-author of others. Derived from a Kirkus review: Detailed, dramatic recounting of the planning and implementation of the mission to capture Saddam Hussein, by a soldier who played a leading role. Army Staff Sgt. Maddox was awarded a Bronze Star for his work devising the methodology used to search for Hussein and interrogate his friends, relatives and bodyguards. His description of these procedures is often so vivid that readers feel they were in the room. While some members of the military used torture to attempt to get information out of Iraqis, Maddox claims he wasn't one of them. He favored "grinding interrogation, " which sometimes did no good but on other occasions resulted in useful information. His solid narrative reads at times like a detective story, and even though the outcome in this case is known, the twists and turns make for an engaging book. Maddox spent four years assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency doing routine work, with no opportunities to interrogate prisoners, before he finally got his chance to shine in July 2003. He devoted four and a half months to pursuing information about Hussein's whereabouts, an effort replete with false starts, resistance from violent prisoners and...
