Standard Operating Procedure is the story of the infamous Abu Ghraib photographs of prisoner abuse, as seen through the eyes and told through the voices of the soldiers who took them and appeared in them. It is the story of how those soldiers were at once the instruments and victims of a great injustice.
Drawing on more than two hundred hours of Errol Morris’ startlingly frank and intimate interviews with the soldier-photographers who gave us what have become iconic images of the Iraq War.
‘A compelling meditation on a descent into cruelty. ’ Daily Telegraph
‘An extraordinary book . . . Although Gourevitch lets the soldiers speak for themselves, his few analytical forays are invaluable.’ Guardian

This book is currently IN STOCK and would be shipped directly from our Australian address. In Standard Operating Procedure, Philip Gourevitch and Errol Morris have produced the first full reckoning of what actually took place at the now-notorious prison camp in Iraq. Here are revealed the stories of the American soldiers who took and appeared in the haunting photographs from Abu Ghraib that shocked the world. Drawing on Errol Morris's startlingly intimate interviews both with soldiers who served there, and inmates who were held there, Philip Gourevitch has written a relentlessly surprising account of Iraq's occupation from the inside out - rendering vivid portraits of guards and prisoners ensnared in an appalling breakdown of command authority and moral order.
