About this title

Synopsis

In "Standard Operating Procedure", Philip Gourevitch (author of "We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families") and Errol Morris (director of "The Fog of War") 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' 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. "Standard Operating Procedure" will be published to coincide with the UK release of Errol Morris' documentary on the same subject.
