A Very British Killing: The Death of Baha Mousa

Amazing book. It is, at times, difficult to follow, as all the people are referred to with their Army designation ( Corporal, Provost, Sergeant etc ). IT is clearly written by an Academic ( A.T. Williams is a university lecturer ). However, the narrative is clear, unsympathetic and unbiased. Reading the book raises more questions than it answers. Moral questions, about the Geneva convention, Army training, govt responses to potential scandals. This is not a conspirators fanbook. It is a sad insight into what is just one of the many tragedies of the conflict in Iraq. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in war, human rights, crime, law..or the army. If only this received as much publicity as something like 50 shades of grey, maybe then we wouldn't live in such a sanitized world, where everything we see, or read, is generally approved by spin doctors.
