Brief:
When the mortar bombs start flying at the compound, can you guess out of the two guard forces - the Italian army and Control Risk Group private contractors - which leaves their rooftop positions and who has to man the guns in their place?
It’s one of many, many episodes showing the imperfect occupation of Iraq, told with rare insight by British diplomat turned provincial deputy governor Rory Stewart. Also mentioned: Andy Bearpark now the Director General of the British Association of Private Security Companies (BAPSC), then the Director of Operations for the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in Iraq.
