The Accidental Peacekeeper: Witness, War and the Weight of Being There
AN IRISH SOLDIER’S JOURNEY THROUGH THE FRONTLINES AND FAULT LINES OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
‘I should never have been in any of these places. I should have been an English teacher in North Mayo.’
Although he served in the military for a quarter of a century, Colin Sheridan never felt completely comfortable in it. The army was an unnatural environment for a creative thinker who hated to be shouted at, hated doing the shouting and detested loud noises. In spite of all that, Colin’s chronic imposter syndrome made him a natural observer – of people, of times and places.
The result is a tour de force of Colin’s time moving through the frontlines and fault lines of the twenty-first century – from Kosovo to Liberia, Afghanistan to the Middle East. Despite these heavy settings, Colin infuses his writing with passion, vulnerability, humour and a uniquely Irish take on moments of global significance.
The Accidental Peacekeeper is a gripping, honest, often darkly funny account of friendship, loyalty, masculinity, fatherhood, and the human reality behind the headlines.
