Enemy of the state

the trial and execution of Saddam Hussein

By Newton, Michael & Scharf, Michael P.

Publishers Summary:
"At 12:21 P.M., on October 19, 2005, Saddam Hussein was escorted into the courtroom of the Iraqi High Tribunal in Baghdad for one of the most important and chaotic trials in history. For a year leading up to that day, two American law professors had led an elite team of experts who prepared the judges and prosecutors for "the mother of all trials." Michael Scharf, a former State Department official who helped create the Yugoslavia Tribunal in 1993, and Michael Newton, then a professor at West Point, would confront such issues as whether the death penalty should apply, how to run a fair trial when political and military passions run so high, and which of Saddam's many crimes should be prosecuted."--BOOK JACKET.
