This book is about what happened about four years ago.I think that the current situation has developed to the stage where the truth must be made public. There have been some of the most arrogant and ridiculous rumors, saying that important evidence has been withheld.There are other boring things like that.Those distorted reports appear more often in American newspapers, especially. The description of the actual situation had better not come from the handwriting of members of the delegation.The reason for this is obvious: there are good reasons to assume that his account is biased. I therefore propose to Miss Amy Leatheran for the task.She is clearly the right person for the job.She has the best qualifications for the job.He had no previous relationship with the Pitts University Iraq Mission, so there would be no bias.And, she is a very observant and intelligent witness.

It was not easy persuading Miss Leatheran to take the job—in fact, it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my practice—and even after she finished she showed a curious reluctance to let I read her original manuscript.I discovered this partly because of something she said about criticizing my daughter Sheila.I soon allayed her apprehension.I reassure her.I said that since children can publish articles to criticize their parents at will, when their children are also scolded, parents will be very happy.Another objection she made was that she was extremely modest about her own writing.She expected me to "correct her grammatical mistakes and so on".On the contrary, I don't even want to change a single word.I thought Miss Leatheran's writing forceful, personal, and entirely appropriate.If she calls Hercule Poirot "Poirot" in one passage and "Mr. Poirot" in the next, the change is amusing and instructive.Sometimes, she can say that she "remembers due manners" (the nurses in the hospital are strictly etiquette), but, in a blink of an eye, she feels relish for what she said, purely like an ordinary person, already Forget about being a nurse.

The only thing I did was write the opening section on my own.It was thanks to a letter from a friend of Miss Leatheran's.I hope to treat it as similar to the head of the family - that is, I want to roughly outline the face of the narrator.
