Saddam consolidates his own power base, appointing friends and relatives to key positions. We hear a remarkable account from a woman whose own family was targeted by his secret police. Soon, the deputy will be in pole position to move against his mentor. And after that, Saddam will shore up the loyalty of his party with an act of political theatre for the ages… From Noiser, this is Real Dictators. This is part 2 of 5 of the Saddam Hussein story. Narrated by Paul McGann, written by Duncan Barrett.
