Publisher's Synopsis
Set in Afghanistan in late 2002, No Space for Further Burials is a chilling indictment of the madness of war and the West's collective complicity in the perpetuation of violence. The novel's narrator, a US Army medical technician in Afghanistan helping 'liberate' the country from the Taliban, has been captured by rebels and thrown into an asylum. The novel becomes a powerful evocation of the country's desolate history of plunder and war, waged by insiders and outsiders, all fuelled by ideology, desperation and greed.
