A story needing to be told. A disturbing look into the trial and execution. No matter how bad a person, there is humanity to be found. The impact this had on the men who guarded and got to know him is gut-wrenching: the complexity of the human spirit and how our soldiers are harmed by war in expected and unexpected ways. If you can read this book without shedding a tear for Hussein and the men with him in his final days, you have a hard heart.
