Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Peter Beaumont is the award-winning Foreign Affairs Editor of the "Observer" and this unflinching account of the nature of modern war goes beyond reportage, becoming a defining account of the subject; a potential classic of its kind.

Publisher's description:

Focuses on the human cost of war to the combatants, to civilians and to the author, as one who bears witness. This book features various encounters that include a visit to the bombed and abandoned home of Mullah Omar; and a deserted Al Qaeda camp where the author discovers documents describing a plan to bomb London.
