    About this ebook

    In America, a disgraced female soldier defends the chaotic events that took place in Abu Ghraib prison. In England, weapons inspector David Kelly confronts the human consequences of lies that spiralled out of control. And in Baghdad, a mother tells the story of a country that no longer exists.

    This gripping play strips away the modern myths of war to imagine three people who are all, in different ways, preparing to take their place in history...

      Congratulations, Judith Timson, you have created three beautiful worlds. Fuck you, George Bush, for introducing evil into them all. Or, well, no, Saddam takes credit too. Why do I find that so artificial in this story, when it's an undeniable fact in real life? I guess because a story shouldn't strive for considered balance; It should just strive to say something real, not say it all. Also, Sorry, Judith Timson, but you should have gotten your friend from Esquimalt to write the Lynndie England monologue. It rings false at important moments.
