Description

Spring 2003. The images of Saddam Hussein's statue toppling in Baghdad are broadcast around the world. For Specialist Cassandra Wigheard, a US army soldier on her first deployment since joining two years earlier, war is imminent. In contrast, Abu al-Hool, a jihadist who has fought for over two decades, is beginning to question his commitment. When Cassandra is taken prisoner by al-Hool's brotherhood, both fighters will face challenges that test their loyalties to the limits. A gripping story of loyalty, duty and the complexities of war, Spoils explores the human cost of conflict in a world torn apart by violence and ideology. Set against the backdrop of the Iraq War, this novel delves into the inner workings of two characters on opposite sides of the conflict, revealing the nuances of their experiences and the difficult choices they must make.
