Abstract

A behind-the-scenes account documents the events surrounding the executed Iraqi dictator's capture and the assemblage of the High Tribunal, describing how its team of judges and prosecutors was prepared to run a fair trial in the face of such obstacles as international upheavals and the disapprovals of the U.K. and the U.N.
