Interrogating the President

Published by Arab Scientific Publishers, "Debriefing the President" by former CIA analyst John Nixon provides an unprecedented look inside the interrogation of Saddam Hussein. Nixon, the first intelligence officer to debrief Saddam after his capture, offers a candid portrait of the deposed Iraqi leader that fundamentally challenges Western assumptions. The book reveals Saddam's views on governance, religion, tribal dynamics, and the absence of weapons of mass destruction. Through rigorous detail, Nixon criticizes Bush administration officials and top CIA leaders for policy blunders, intelligence failures, and a profound lack of understanding of Iraq's geopolitical landscape.

It offers a rare, objective, and insider view of Saddam Hussein, presenting an eye-opening critique of U.S. foreign policy and intelligence missteps in the Middle East.

Students and scholars of Middle Eastern history, international relations, intelligence studies, political science, and general readers interested in WWI/modern Iraqi history and memoirs.
