Called to Account by Richard Norton-Taylor
In 2006, two leading barristers: Philippe Sands QC and Julian Knowles tested the evidence of the grounds for an indictment of the British Prime Minister for the crime of aggression against Iraq. This book gathers the arguments and testimony, examining the criminal implications of the British Government's decision to use force against Iraq.
""should be seen by everyone in this country" - Independent on Sunday " - at least the theatre has now called Blair to account - there is no doubt about the evening's importance." - The Guardian "This is theatre both as confected sensation and as direct civic engagement." - Financial Times"
