Saddam promised Unity... and delivered Collapse. Bush promised Freedom... and delivered Chaos. For a young Iraqi soldier, sent on an epic journey down the Tigris, all he has to deliver is Qudz - an enigmatic Cleric - who promises to hold the answer to all the country's problems. Merging Conrad's Heart of Darkness with astonishing first-hand accounts, Qudz brings us up close and personal to the everyday lives of Iraqis: sometimes comic, often tragic and always absurd.
