Author Elizabeth Hulgrave (Betsy) Chasbro's new book "For the Sins of Her Prophets" is a semi-fictionalized history of events in Baghdad, Iraq, in the summer of 2004.
Recent release "For the Sins of Her Prophets" from Page Publishing author Elizabeth Hulgrave (Betsy) Chasbro represents the expanded notes taken by her father, Steven Chasbro, during a week-long crisis in the summer of 2004. At that time, the American occupation of Iraq was degenerating quickly from a colonial protectorate into American forces trying to avert, or extricate themselves from, a growing civil war and possible sectarian genocide.
NEW YORK, Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Elizabeth Hulgrave (Betsy) Chasbro, a staff reporter for a daily newspaper in New Mexico and former copywriter for a small advertising agency in the New York Metropolitan area, has completed her new book "For the Sins of Her Prophets": a riveting exposé of the politics of revenge permeating elements of the Shi'ite community toward the minority Sunnis and the murderous aims pursued by many of the Shi'ite militias coming in from Iran or springing up around the country.
Steven Chasbro has washed out of a banking career. Through the intervention of his well-connected wife, he lands a job in Iraq during the summer of 2004. There, Steve is advising the government on financial matters but does not succeed. Cashiered for a second time and thoroughly disgusted with the experience, Chasbro is just about to board a C-130 for Kuwait and a one-way ticket home when Ambassador Damien Suiter calls him back to investigate an insurgent attack.
The ambassador is a long-time family friend of Constance (née Hulgrave) Chasbro, Steve's estranged wife. What Chasbro writes off as a pro forma exercise to satisfy his wife and her friend turns out to be not so simple. Suspicions mount and rumors rise. During that investigation, Chasbro, together with several diplomats and military officers, begin to uncover a potentially dark truth about the failing United States occupation of Iraq; that it is devolving into a sectarian civil war. As he records his one-week odyssey, Steve analyzes why American policy has gone wrong, why Iraq occurred, and why the days of the American Century are numbered.
Published by Page Publishing, Elizabeth Hulgrave (Betsy) Chasbro's engrossing book is a spellbinding semi-fictionalized first-hand account of the tumultuous events in Iraq in the summer of 2004.
