Mission Black List #1

This is a change in books because I became fascinated as I picked this books from the shelf of the public library, and I do believe I plan on returning to “The Tipping Point” in time. It was immediately fascinating because of the bold letters on the cover that said, “The inside story of the search for Saddam Hussein-as told by the soldier who masterminded his capture.” One of the major words in this is obviously Saddam Hussein. That name stuck out to me, more than it should have for me. The reason that I don't believe it should have sparked interests is that I rarely know anything that is going on in the world. The Iraq war is a war of controversy. Israel is having problems with Palestine. In my mind all I knew of Saddam Hussein is that he is/was a fugitive like Osama Bin Laden, yet another person I don't know anything about. This book must have stood out because it provided information of a topic of interests that I had no idea about and therefore interested me. This book is a story of an interrogator, in the front lines of battle, that discovered a slightly different path to finding Saddam Hussein, a fugitive hiding somewhere in Iraq.
