An Intimate War By Dr. Mike Martin

MoD fails in attempt to stifle criticism of Afghan conflict | World | The Guardian:

"An Intimate War, by Dr Mike Martin, a captain in the TA, based on research funded by the British army, was due to have been published by Hurst this week. Publication was put on hold after the MoD threatened Martin with the Official Secrets Act saying that his manuscript contained Wikileaks material and "other classified material".

Martin asked the MoD to explain what information in the book it was referring to. They declined to do so though it now says that it never threatened Martin with the secrets act, something he says is not true.

The MoD's attitude made him resign – he says he was so angry he cut his army identity card in half."
