As hostilities in Iraq continue to dominate the media, and the
US-led coalition's approach to the war and the reconstruction of
Iraq increasingly in question, Andrew White's is the voice of
authority, always realistic but never without hope. But where is
hope now? What is the future for Iraq? This is the fascinating,
first-hand account of one man's deepening involvement over seven
years with Iraq. As an envoy for peace, the author has dedicated
himself to religious and political reconciliation in Iraq and
frequently risked his life. In this new edition, Andrew White
reflects on what he has seen in Iraq during his ongoing visits
since 2005, including the escalating violence, working with the
military and the involvement of the Americans. He also assesses
what he considers mistakes in the peace process. Among the more
dramatic moments are the trial of Saddam, at which Andrew White was
present; the abduction of the leaders of St George's church and
their presumed death; and hostage crises including the death of
colleagues. The author's personal struggle has been very real, but
even at the worst moments he does not lose hope. He is remarkable
for his capacity to relate to people at both a high and a more
ordinary level, and his picture of life on the ground in Iraq is as
compelling as his insights into what goes on behind the political
censors. Interspersed in this compelling account are reflections on
such profound issues as the nature of evil, the necessity sometimes
of war and - perhaps the most urgent question - whether religion is
part of the problem or the solution.
