Description: 'The best book by far to come out of the Iraq mess' Sunday Herald
Synopsis: By September 2003, six months after the US-led invasion of Iraq, the anarchy had begun. Rory Stewart, a young Biritish diplomat, was appointed as the Coalition Provisional Authority's deputy governor of a province of 850,000 people in the southern marshland region. There, he and his colleagues confronted gangsters, Iranian-linked politicians, tribal vendettas and a full Islamist insurgency. Rory Stewart's inside account of the attempt to re-build a nation, the errors made, the misunderstandings and insurmountable difficulties encountered, reveals an Iraq hidden from most foreign journalists and soldiers. Stewart is an award-winning writer, gifted with extraordinary insight into the comedy, occasional heroism and moral risks of foreign occupation. 'Beautifully written, highly evocative ...a joy to read' - John Simpson. 'A marvellous book ...a devastating narrative' - Simon Jenkins. 'Absolutely absorbing' - Ken Loach. 'Strikes gut and brain at once' - James Meek. 'Wonderfully observed, wise, evocative' - "Observer".
