Description
Craig Murray's memoir takes us into the heart of a tumultuous period in British politics. In 2001, as key witness to the Arms to Africa Affair, Murray uncovered the dark underbelly of Tony Blair's New Labour administration. This prequel to his bestselling Murder in Samarkand offers a searing critique of "liberal intervention" and its consequences for Western interests in Africa. Murray's account is marked by personal anecdotes, both humorous and harrowing, as he navigates the complex web of colonial history and contemporary politics. With unflinching candour, he exposes the use of mercenaries to secure African mineral resources, revealing a dark legacy that continues to shape global relations today. Through his story, Murray sheds light on a pivotal moment in modern British history, one that challenges our understanding of power, politics, and the human cost of intervention.
