How I found Saddam Hussein: Eric Maddox

from Fascinating People Fascinating Places Hosted by Daniel Mainwaring

In this gripping episode, we delve into the remarkable story of Eric Maddox, the interrogator who played a pivotal role in the capture of Saddam Hussein. In 2003, as part of a Delta Force team operating under the Joint Special Operations Command, Eric embarked on a mission to track down Iraqi fugitives, including the elusive Saddam Hussein. Through tireless dedication, daring raids, and conducting interviews with over 300 detainees, Eric's relentless pursuit led to the historic moment when Saddam Hussein was finally located and arrested on December 13, 2003. Listen as Eric shares his experiences in Iraq and unveils the innovative interrogation techniques that set him apart from others. His approach, in stark contrast to controversial and ineffective methods, proved highly successful in extracting crucial information. Eric's remarkable journey is detailed in his book 'Mission: Black List #1,' offering an in-depth look at the entire investigation. Today, Eric has transitioned to become an inspirational speaker, using the communication skills honed during his interrogations to foster better communication and success in the private sector.
