Saddam Hussein (S01E02)

This episode delves into the strategies and methods that propelled Saddam Hussein from a minor enforcer to the ultimate authority in Iraq. His reign, marked by ruthless violence, intimidation, and torture, allowed him to maintain control over the country for almost 25 years. However, his rule came to an end when US forces overthrew him during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Few dictators have had such a significant impact on recent history as he did.
