Emma
Sky was working for the British Council during the invasion of Iraq,
when the ad went around calling for volunteers. Appalled at what she saw
as a wrongful war, she signed up, expecting to be gone for months.
Instead, her time in Iraq spanned a decade, and became a personal
odyssey so unlikely that it could be a work of fiction. Quickly made
civilian representative of the CPA in Kirkuk, and then political advisor
to General Odierno, Sky became valued for her outspoken voice and the
unique perspective she offered as an outsider.
In her intimate,
clear-eyed memoir of her time in Iraq, a young British woman among the
men of the US military, Emma Sky provides a vivid portrait of this most
controversial of interventions, exploring how and why the Iraq project
failed.
