Spud writes with a deft touch, combining great context, a clear narrative and some wonderful asides about the madness of the world he found himself in. Read it and celebrate a terrific story, very well told.Spud is the first person in the world to be arrested and threatened with a seven to ten stretch on suspicion for stealing a piece of bronze under, The United Nations Sanction – Iraqi Control Sanctions Order 2003 Section 8 (for stealing or knowingly taking Iraqi cultural property) while trying to sell it to raise money for military charities.
