Iain King is een gevierd thrillerauteur wiens werk de complexiteit van oorlog en de nasleep ervan onderzoekt. Gebaseerd op zijn uitgebreide ervaring in conflictgebieden, waar hij gevaar aan den lijve ondervond, doordrenkt hij zijn schrijfwerk met authenticiteit en spanning. Zijn thrillers verweven actievolle plots met onverwachte historische waarschuwingen, waardoor lezers worden aangezet tot nadenken over de kwetsbaarheid van de westerse beschaving. Naast meeslepende fictie, verkent King ook de moraalfilosofie en ethiek, waarbij hij complexe concepten vereenvoudigt en nieuwe perspectieven biedt op ethische dilemma's. Zijn non-fictiewerken worden gewaardeerd om hun diepgang en inzichtelijke analyse van internationale politiek en vredesopbouw.

Both authors served with UNMIK and believe that the international community has a duty to intervene in regional conflicts, but they suggest that Kosovo reveals the difficult challenges inherent in such interventions."--BOOK JACKET.
