The Fall of Saddam Hussein: Butcher of Baghdad
About this episode
This episode explores the fall of Saddam Hussein, detailing his brutal regime and the swift collapse of his government in 2003.
For 24 years, Saddam Hussein ruled Iraq with an iron fist—silencing dissent through torture, execution, and the infamous Republican Guard. But in 2003, the regime that seemed untouchable came crashing down in just three weeks. Today we trace the final days of one of history's most brutal dictators: from the shock and awe of Baghdad to Saddam's humiliating capture in a spider hole near Tikrit.
