TAYLOR, Scott Among the Others : Encounters with the forgotten Turkmen of Iraq. Signed
Esprit de Corps, Ottawa, 2004, ISBN:1895896266
TAYLOR, Scott. Among the "Others" : Encounters with the forgotten Turkmen of Iraq . [Includes author's hostage ordeal "Five Days in Hell" captured by Ansar al-Islam terrorists]. (Ottawa): Esprit de Corps Books, (2004). Pp. [1]-208. Illustrated. 8vo, illustrated dark card covers with blue spine. "Despite constituting approximately ten percent of Iraq's population, the 'forgotten' Turkmen are often grouped with other factions when foreign analysts and commentators refer to the ethnic makeup of Iraq. In discussions concerning post-war political representation, it is common to hear specific reference made to Shiite Arabs, Sunni Arabs, and Kurds, while the remaining factions - the Turkmen, Yazidi, Sabia, Marsh Arabs, etc. - are often collectively referred to as the 'others'. In addition to presenting a history of the Turkmen people in Iraq, the book also includes several of Scott Taylor's personal observations of a people that have suffered through decades of political oppression and ethnic violence." - from the rear cover. Very good. Signed by the author. 35.00

Index. 8vo, illustrated green card covers. “INAT is a Serbian noun which does not directly translate into English, but roughly means “regardless of the consequences.” Far from being just a simple word, INAT is best described as a spirit which is embodied in the psyche of the Serbian people. This book is presented as a compilation of Scott Taylor's first-hand observations of Serbia during the 78-day NATO bombardment. INAT covers the xenith of the NATO air raids; the on again, off again peace talks,Russia's sudden race into Kosovo, the NATO (KFOR) deployment, the retreat of the Yugoslavian army, the flight of the Serbian refugees, and the bitteraftermath of the war on a bomb-ravaged Serbia.” - from the back cover. Ver y good. Signed by the author. 40.00

TAYLOR, Scott Spinning on the Axis of Evil : America's War against Iraq. pbk. Signed
Esprit de Corps, Ottawa, 2003, ISBN:1895896223
TAYLOR, Scott. Spinning on the Axis of Evil : America's War against Iraq. (Ottawa : Esprit de Corps Books, 2003). Pp. [1]-232. Illustrated. Index. 8vo, illustrated dark card covers. “Spinning on the Axis of Evil is based on Scott Taylor’s personal experiences and observations gathered during 14 separate trips into Iraq – before and after the toppling of Saddam’s regime. This book provides a rare insight into the plight of the Iraqi people who, ina single generation, suffered through three devastating wars and 13 years of crippling sanctions. From clandestine talks with Saddam’s top intelligence officials to dinner table chats with ordinary citizens, Taylor reveals what it was like to be inside Iraq during the dramatic countdown to Bush’s declaration of war. As catalogued in Taylor's reports, the post-war looting,violence and anarchy which took the Americans by complete surprise were al l accurately predicted and desperately feared by the Irqis themselves. Spinning on the Axis of Evil is a scathing indictment of those who used falsehoods to justify a war - and failed to plan for its horrific aftermath." - from the back cover. Very good.
