British author goes it alone after publisher gets squeamish
Author Craig Murray is self-publishing his new book The Catholic Orangemen of Togo and Other Conflicts I Have Known, covering his years as a diplomat in Africa. He did have a publisher, Mainstream, but the firm bowed out after Tim Spicer (founder of the mercenary firm Aegis) threatened legal action over references to him in the book. So Murray is selling the book himself – and giving it away online. As Alison Flood writes in the Guardian story:
He said he was “99.9% confident” that he wouldn’t be hearing from the lawyers. “I know for sure everything in the book is true – it’s stuff I did and saw myself,” he said.
