Accountable: We Shall Hold Them to Be Accountable J. B. Lowden

Personal tragedy, Controlled Violence, Romance, and Sheer Psychological Warfare. Could this be reality? These are the components of an extraordinarily intense thriller, based on current international affairs. This is the story of three individuals, who were brought together by the horrors of war. John Fitzpatrick Campbell, former member of the British SBS, who lost his only son in Afghanistan and shortly afterwards his wife. Terence Jermain Jackson, ex USMC Force Recon, whose wife perished in the 9/11 attack in New York and Pieter van den Velden former member of the South African Para Commandos, who has joined them simply because the other two are his best friends and he owes his life to John. They embark on a campaign of total psychological warfare against the Government and establishment of Britain as well as the USA. Amongst their targets are the British Prime Minster, the Chief of Staff of the combined British Armed Forces and the US Secretary of State. With public opinion behind them, they succeed in obtaining an admission from the British government, regards the distorted and untrue reasons given, for the invasion of Iraq and the fact that the British troops in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are not being issued with the proper weapons and other necessary equipment to fight the war, in order to give them the best possible chance of survival. The general opinion of the citizens of the UK as well as the US is becoming more and more negative in respect of the reasons, why these wars are being fought. The fact that fathers, husbands, brothers, daughters and sons are coming back home in body bags, is creating the same antagonism towards the respective governments, that had been evident during the Vietnam war.
