Saddam's Bombmaker

Last summer I read Saddam's bombmaker by Khidhir Hamza and Jeff Stein. The book is somewhat of an autobiography of Hamza’s time working as a nuclear weapon’s engineer for Saddam Hussien. The book is pretty entertaining but it’s caught a lot of heat for how Hamza exaggerated his role in the Saddam’s nuclear weapons program. However, I would still recommend reading the book because I think it kind of represents a remarkable spin put on Hamza’s role in Saddam’s regime, and furthermore, the kind of spin that was put of Iraq that got us into the war.

Here is a review that you might wanna check out if you've read the book or are considering it:
