Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A Guardian Book of the YearWinner of The Writers' League of Texas Fiction Award 2017'Spoils is a harrowing and incredibly powerful debut. I read this with awe.' Kate AtkinsonIt is the spring of 2003 and coalition forces are advancing on Iraq. Images of a giant statue of Saddam Hussein crashing to the ground in Baghdad are being beamed to news channels around the world. Nineteen-year-old Specialist Cassandra Wigheard, on her first deployment since joining the US army two years earlier, is primed for war.For Abu al-Hool, a jihadist since the days of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, war is wearing thin. Two decades of fighting and the new wave of super-radicalised fighters joining the ranks in the wake of the September 11 attacks have left him questioning his commitment to the struggle.When Cassandra is taken prisoner by al-Hools mujahideen brotherhood, both fighters will find their loyalties tested to the very limits.This fast-paced, hard-hitting account of eight weeks in the lives of a soldier and her captor forces us to reconsider the simplistic narratives of war spun by those in power. With its privileged insight into the reality of armed combat, Spoils shines a light on the uncertainty, fear and idealism that characterised the early days of one of the most important conflicts of our time. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
