Bardenwerper, Will, The
Prisoner in His Palace, Saddam Hussein, His American Guards and What History
Leaves Unsaid, Scribner, 2017
When you first open The Prisoner in His Palace, Saddam Hussein,
His American Guards and What History Leaves Unsaid by Will Bardenwerper it appears that it is just about the 12 American
Military Police (MPs) that guarded Saddam Hussein. That did not seem like it
would be that interesting. It turns out the book covers Saddam’s trial and
execution and the people around him like a U.S. medic, the FBI agents that
interrogated him, the former Qatari Justice Minister that represented him and
others.
