About this listen

 An Iraq Interlude covers the author's two years from January 2004 until the end of February 2006 in Iraq with private security contractor Erinys Iraq. The first few chapters cover the period he spent in Baghdad, and adequately describe what it was like working on a SET (Security Escort Team) while on contract to USACE (United States Army Corps of Engineers). Following his being part of a SET operating out of the Green Zone, the author was then transferred as manager of another Erinys contract in Baghdad. The job was to manage the security aspect of a non-governmental organisation, the International Relief Development outside of the Green Zone. During this contract the author lived on his own in the downtown Karrada suburb of Baghdad, and he shares with the reader both the humour, and tensions that went with the job. After the IRD departed from Baghdad due to a worsening security situation the author was transferred to Basra as the project lead for Erinys SET Eagle 3 operating in the Gulf Region South (GRS). This part of the book shares with the reader the humour and seriousness of the work involved in the private security sector within a hostile environment in the GRS. An Iraq Interlude has numerous photographs and the book will certainly resonate with those ex Erinys personnel who were there during the period covered, and with anyone who has worked in a similar environment within Iraq.
