“A fast and furious read. . . . When the historians try to put together the real facts of the two wars the U.S. has fought since September 11, 2001, this book will be a valuable contribution to their research.” —Doris Kearns Godwin

How Did We Get Him?

This authoritative and gripping account takes readers into the real and personal story of the United States forces in Iraq, and their successful maneuvers in capturing one of the most vicious dictators of our time. Hunting Down Saddam contains up-to-the-minute material and provides never-before-heard accounts of the triumphs and frustrations, strategies and attacks, of those who put their lives at risk to track down Saddam Hussein.

Action-packed and controversial, Hunting Down Saddam teems with inside information. Best-selling author Robin Moore gets the real story from these fighting men as only he can. The capture of Saddam Hussein is the defining event for this generation’s military and now it is fully detailed in this riveting book.
