About This Item
London : Headline, 2005. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered.; 8vo 8"" - 9"" tall; 406 pages; Physical desc. : 406 p. : ill., map, ports. ; 25 cm. Includes index. Subject: Collins, Tim (1960-) --Great Britain --Army --Iraq War, 2003 - --Personal narratives, British --Asian/Middle Eastern history: postwar, from c 1945-. Summary: From the moment Tim Collins's speech to his men in Iraq was made public, he became more than an army colonel. He spoke to a world that was confused, at best, as to the motives for war, and gave some explanation, at last, for the need for this war and gave counsel on how it should be approached. Full of drama, thought and humour, RULES OF ENGAGEMENT describes in graphic and thrilling detail not only Tim Collins's time in Iraq in the lead up to war and during the war itself, but looks back on a life's experience in the army. He talks for the first time about the accusations of war crimes levelled against him and reveals the truth about US behaviour during the conflict. A snap shot of history, Rules of Engagement is an absorbing tale that will stand the test of time and is a moving lesson in the humanity that lies behind a country at war.
