The Prince of the Marshes And Other Occupational Hazards of a Year in Iraq
By Rory Stewart, a British diplomat who navigated the complexities of Iraq's occupation, this book offers a unique portrait of heroism and the tragedy that intervention inevitably courts.
With a mix of humor, harrowing moments, and insight, Stewart recounts his experiences as deputy governor of two provinces in southern Iraq, where he worked to rebuild infrastructure and negotiate hostage releases amidst a population on the brink of civil war.
