On 14 September 2003 Baha Mousa, a hotel receptionist, was arrested in Basra by British troops and taken to a military base for questioning.
Less than forty-eight hours later he was dead.

What it reveals about Britain and its political and military institutions is explosive.
Customer Reviews
A Very British Killing by A.T. Williams
This is an excellent piece of academic work that exposes the complexities of war and the use of violence on 'ordinary' people by 'ordinary' people. Highly recommended.
Essential reading for anyone who cares about British Government torture
Moving and meticulous analysis of how the British army killed an innocent man (and many others) in cold blood in Iraq.
