“The Catholic Orangemen of Togo” to be self-published by Craig Murray
By Paul Biba
Craig Murray was Britain’s ambassador to Uzbekistan and I remember the news reports of him being pulled from the post after after protesting about the use by the US and UK secret services of intelligence gained by torture - something the British government didn’t want him to do. He is now self-publishing his book on his years in Africa. He is making it available free as a PDF.
I have been obliged to self-publish my new book, The Catholic Orangemen of Togo and Other Conflicts I Have Known, because legal threats from mercenary commander Tim Spicer scared off my publisher:
http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/Schillings.pdf II have accordingly decided to make it available free online from 12 January as a PDF hosted on over a hundred different websites, in almost thirty different juridictions. I have, however, had physical books printed for those who wish (and purchased carbon offset). I hope to get copies into bookstores shortly, though this is difficult. It is available from Amazon.co.uk for just £11.87 …
The book is an autobiographical prequel to Murder in Samarkand and covers the period 1998 to 2002. It exposes the links between blood diamonds, crime and British mercenary involvement in Africa. it argues that the disregard Tony Blair showed for both British and international law in dealing with Sierra Leone prefigured the disaster of Iraq. It also covers my role in the dawn of democracy in Ghana.
