Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army - Paperback
by Jeremy Scahill (Author)
The "crackling exposé" (New York Times Book Review) of the shadowy mercenary army that perpetrated horrific war crimes in America's name
On September 16, 2007, machine gun fire erupted in Baghdad's Nisour Square, leaving seventeen Iraqi civilians dead, among them women and children. The shooting spree, labeled "Baghdad's Bloody Sunday," was neither the work of Iraqi insurgents nor U.S. soldiers. The shooters were private forces, subcontractors working for the secretive mercenary company, Blackwater Worldwide, led by Erik Prince. Award-winning journalist Jeremy Scahill takes us from the bloodied streets of Iraq to hurricane-ravaged New Orleans to the chambers of power in Washington, to reveal the frightening new face of the U.S. military machine, and what happens when you outsource war.Jeremy Scahill is co-founder of Drop Site News. He has reported from Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, the former Yugoslavia, and elsewhere across the globe. He is also a writer and producer of the documentary feature film, Dirty Wars, and author of the New York Times bestseller by the same name.
