Read it made some of the theatre production clearer.

This is about the Black Watch regiment and their experience in Iraq, particularly after they were sent north to Fallujah to back up US forces. It's based around verbatim interviews with ex-members of the regiment, with some scenes set back in Iraq, and highlights the complex motivations and reactions of different members of the forces. This was a powerful read - subtle and moving. I really wish I'd seen the production.
