"Gripping and unsettling . . . a rare account of privilege . . . with big houses,
expensive cars, glittering restaurants."New York Times Book Review

Khidhir Hamza, the Iraqi scientist who designed Baghdad's nuclear bomb, tells how he secretly
developed the bomb with the cynical help of U.S., French, German, and British suppliers and
experts and kept it hidden from U.N. inspectors after the Gulf War.

Dr. Hamza also presents a startling, unprecedented portrait of Saddam himself, his drunken rages,
his women, his fear of germs, and his cold-blooded murder of underlings.

Saddam's Bombmaker is also a saga of one man's journey through the circles of hell. Educated
at MIT and Florida State University, dedicated to a life of peaceful teaching in America, Dr. Hamza
relates how the regime ordered him home, seduced him into a pampered life as an atomic energy
official, and forced him to design a bomb. The price of refusal was torture. The tale of his escape, his
first bungled contact with CIA agents, and his flight abroad will keep listeners riveted toward a climax
worthy of a well-crafted spy thriller.

KHIDHIR HAMZA was educated at MIT and Florida State University before his forced return to Iraq. He now lives in Virginia.

Earphones Awards recipient Robert Whitfield was born in England and worked for the BBC for ten years as a radio news announcer and also worked as a narrator for the Royal National Institute for the Blind in London. In addition to narrating for Blackstone Audiobooks, he involves himself in numerous stage-acting projects in the United States and Europe.
