Canon Andrew White has the most dangerous parish in the world, the parish of St George’s, Baghdad. He is also one of the founders of the Centre for Dialogue, Reconciliation and Peace, which is the foremost organisation in Iraq for engagement with religious and tribal leaders and the new Government. He also has a strategic role in hostage negotiations. He writes: ‘It is a roller coaster existence in the new Iraq. Ecstasy and despair are part of life. There again, is not salvation history a narrative of ecstasy and despair? Behind the scenes there are real people working day and night to try and ensure that this experiment of rebuilding a rogue nation works. For the people of Iraq, who knows how long it will really be before they see a difference?’

A reviewer writes: “He has written a gripping account of his intense involvement in Iraq with honesty and candour, clarity and objectivity, simplicity and brilliance. This book will drive you to your knees to pray.”
