Title: And in this corner...
Product review: Etherington wrote the book in his voice, with his perceptions, and from his perspective: it's his, well-received or not. His understanding of the tribal nature of the Iraqis has no parallel in the US. Americans, especially those who've not visited the Middle East, have little concept of the reality of the region and the daily challenges faced by Westerners who attempt to function there. Etherington painted a portrait of the region that is utterly realistic and authentic. His prose is readable and refreshing in the use of terms and phrases more commonly used in the UK. I thank him for sharing his time and expertise with the Iraqis and his attempts to make the situation better.
