During the 2003 war that ended Saddam Hussein s regime, coalition
forces captured thousands of hours of secret recordings of
meetings, phone calls, and conferences. Originally prepared by the
Institute for Defense Analyses for the Office of the Undersecretary
of Defense for Policy, this study presents annotated transcripts of
Iraqi audio recordings of meetings between Saddam Hussein and his
inner circle. The Saddam Tapes, along with the much larger digital
collection of captured records at the National Defense University s
Conflict Records Research Center, will provide researchers with
important insights into the inner workings of the regime and, it is
hoped, the nature of authoritarian regimes more generally. The
collection has implications for a range of historical questions.
How did Saddam react to the pressures of his wars? How did he
manage the Machiavellian world he created? How did he react to the
signals and actions of the international community on matters of
war and peace? Was there a difference between the public and the
private Saddam on critical matters of state? A close examination of
this material in the context of events and other available evidence
will address these and other questions.
