IN MY BLOOD - Author Greg Waggett - A true account, this book is about a man drawn into the world of private security in Iraq after he is forced to quit his business. He encounters different cultures, searing temperatures, bombs, and some ugly incidents. Later he has to deal with menacing officials in state security and the threat of expulsion in Africa. An erstwhile warlord becomes an unlikely ally. On commencing a second tour, he is arrested by a vindictive colonel, locked up, and makes a bold escape – but is then faced with an agonising dilemma. There are lighter moments, too. His fascinating and vivid accounts are written with verve and pace. They take you not just to Iraq, but also to Libya when it was a rogue state, Kuwait, East Africa and the Sudan. So whilst Iraq is topical, it is his time in Africa which differentiates this book and endows it with another dimension. Moreover, the dramatic and grim events in Kenya give the book’s theme added resonance. In sum, ‘a rich account, skilfully blending a life in security with military tactics, political commentary, travelogue and high comedy’. Much more than a ‘bang-bullets-and-blazes’ story, this book is a must-read with broad appeal.
