In this candid and at times shocking memoir, Craig Murray lays bare the dark and dirty underside of the War on Terror.
Craig Murray was born in 1958. He joined the Diplomatic Service in 1984 and served in Nigeria, Poland and Ghana, before being appointed Ambassador to Uzbekistan in 2002. He retired from the Civil Service in 2005. He now lives in London, where he works as a writer and broadcaster.
"I thought that diplomats like Craig Murray were an extinct breed. A man of the highest principle" -- John Pilger "The Uzbek people know only one word for Craig Murray: hero" -- Mohammad Salih, Uzbek Opposition Leader "Fantastic ... [like] a very funny version of a Graham Greene novel" -- Michael Winterbottom, Film Director "The actions of this brave and principled man have certainly exposed the "war on terror" for the sick charade that it is" Morning Star "There is plenty of black comedy in this frank story of the disillusionment and downfall of one of Britain's brightest young ambassadors" The Guardian
