Andrew Williams is an academic lawyer with the tenacity of a detective and the literary flair of the best kind of investigative journalist, and his account of the fate of Baha Mousa, a young Iraqi man who was beaten to death by his guards in a British military prison, is one of the most important pieces of writing to come out of the Iraq War. -- Richard Lloyd Parry, Author Of People Who Eat Darkness This is a landmark book. Fluently, meticulously, A. T. Williams allows us to understand both the murderous nature of colonial war and the insidious moral corruption behind its institutional facades -- John Pilger Anyone who hopes to avoid repeating the such calamities in future wars should read this book -- Jack Fairweather, Author Of A War Of Choice Of immense value to anyone interested in the conduct, and misconduct, of war in our time Evening Standard
