Bring Me The Arse Of Saddam

A no nonsense, humerous, but also a gritty in your face, full of action read. A daring adventure of SAS man, Nigel 'Spud' Ely's journey into war with the United States Marine Corps and his subsequent arrest by British Police. A review, "A corking read, crisp, eloquent and - at times - laugh out loud. Spud writes with a deft touch, combining great context, a clear narrative and some wonderful asides about the madness of the world he found himself in. Read it and celebrate a terrific story, very well told."Spud is the first person in the world to be arrested and threatened with a seven to ten stretch on suspicion for stealing a piece of bronze under, The United Nations Sanction - Iraqi Control Sanctions Order 2003 Section 8 (for stealing or knowingly taking Iraqi cultural property) while trying to sell it to raise money for military charities. The cultural property in question is a large piece of bronze – Saddam Hussein’s left buttock from that iconic statue the US Marines pulled down in Firdos Square, Baghdad on 9th April 2003 during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Without exception, when he tells his story folk are left in fits of laughter and utter astonishment. The book is fast paced, satirical and an easy read. A true modern day adventure where no good deed goes unpunished.Ely is the first person in the world to be arrested and threatened with a seven to ten stretch on suspicion for stealing a piece of bronze under, The United Nations Sanction - Iraqi Control Sanctions Order 2003 Section 8 (for stealing or knowingly taking Iraqi cultural property) while trying to sell it to raise money for military charities.
