Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 290 pp., colour photos. Jake Kovco was the first casualty, the first Australian soldier to die in Iraq. The personal tragedy of his fatal shooting became a national and political sensation. But Jake's death was not that simple. Evidence from the barracks room in which he died was lost. The Military Police themselves wrote large parts of the witness statements from other soldiers in his unit. Jake's body went missing and that of a Bosnian carpenter brought home it its place. The military inquiry that followed was dismissed as a cover-up by his family and a failure by the lawyers involved. Seller Inventory # 6896

"Private Jake Kovco was the first Australian soldier to die in Iraq. His tragic death is still surrounded in mystery. How does a man die in a small room with two other people and no-one know what happened? Why was the room cleaned of all evidence before the police arrived? Why was the gun carrying DNA on the trigger from a soldier in the next room to the shooting? The Australian Defence Force couldn't even bring the right body home and then managed to lose the military report of that mistake. Written by the journalist who has been there from the beginning, 'Carry me home' tells the story of the man at the centre of the tragedy, Jake Kovco, as well as the unravelling the lies and cover-ups behind his death."
