Mission Black List #1

By Eric Maddox with David Seay
published in 2009

One thing I like about this book, other then the insightful facts from the books, is that in the middle of the book, there a pictures. While reading the book, I had a hard time visualizing some of the characteristics of of Iraq. At many times in the book, there are references to many places and people, as I stated before. When reading a book, a good thing to do to keep track is to visualize the plot and setting. The pictures really help with that visualization by giving me a view of the area. They also show the High Value Targets cards. Many books do not have pictures. True, pictures are a bit childish but they can help the reader understand the book. One picture isn't a picture at all. It is a diagram that shows the family tree of Saddam Hussein. This family tree really helps you follow the long complicated array of names the Maddox uses in the book.
