In the year 1141, civil war rages in England. Robber
barons pillage and loot, while rampaging armies terrorise the countryside. But
never fear: the peacekeepers are coming. The Organisation of Nations of the
World (known in Latin as ONO) launches the England Operation to sort everything
out.
In this world-turned-upside-down satirical take on the
peacekeeping industry, rich and powerful African businesswomen and politicians
collude with Norman overlords to steal England’s most valuable natural
resource—sheep—as the hapless international troops who are supposed to stop the
war sink ever deeper into the swamp of violence and corruption that is
twelfth-century England.
Peter Swarbrick was born in Preston, Lancashire, England,
and studied international relations at Lancaster University. After working for
several years in London as a newspaper reporter, he joined the United
Nations secretariat in New York. Starting in 1989, he spent eighteen years in
peacekeeping, in New York, Cambodia and half a dozen African countries,
including the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He now lives in Yangon,
Myanmar, with his wife May Pearl, their son Pascal and two golden retrievers,
Pinky and Percy.
