description: "This is the first-hand account of one man's deepening involvement over six years with Iraq, which has included sensitive hostage negotiations. As an envoy for peace, Andrew dedicated himself to religious and political reconciliation in Iraq and frequently risked his life. He is remarkable for his capacity to relate to people at both a high and a more ordinary level, and his picture of life on the ground in Iraq is as compelling as his insights into what goes on behind the political censors." Interspersed in this compelling account are reflections on such profound issues as the nature of evil, the necessity sometimes of war and - perhaps the most urgent question - whether religion is part of the problem or the solution.
