Murder in Samarkand (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781540741691)

Craig Murray's tale of his Ambassadorship to Tashkent became an instant bestseller and is now a classic in several genres. Murray lifts the lid on the British Foreign Office and gives a detailed and fascinating account of the life and work of an Ambassador. But he also thoroughly exposes the lies behind the Blair administration's "War on Terror" and the ruthlessness of its operations. This is vital primary source material for the "extraordinary rendition" policy. But it is still more than that. This is a most detailed travel story and insight into Central Asian society. It is a narration of quite horrifying individual events. And it is the warts and all story of one man's crisis as everything he has believed in crumbles about him. Murray makes no attempt to hide his own imperfections, which adds to the emotional impact of this quite extraordinary book.
