For anyone interested while shopping today I picked up a new book whic has been released called 'Bali to Baghdad and Beyond' by Rodney Cocks published by Penguin/Viking. 'A young man's story from the UN front lines'.

Appears to be an interesting read....

..."Rodney Cocks was born in Melbourn in 1976...He served with the UN in East Timor and was holidaying in Kuta at the time of the Bali bombings. He assisted in the horrific aftermath and was later awarded the Conspicuous Service medal for his actions.. In 2003 Rodney joined the UN's de-mining team in Iraq and was injured when a suicide bomber attacked the UN's Baghdad headquarters... Rodney is currently serving with the UN as a security advisor in Afghanistan...He was named the 2005 Victorian of the year for his humanitarian service in East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan and for his actions following the Bali and Baghdad bombings...."

PS: picked this copy up in Target for $21.95... cheers
