Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army
Autor Jeremy Scahillen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 mai 2008 – vârsta de la 13 ani
The
groundbreaking
bestselling
expose
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.
"A crackling expose" --New York Times Book Review
"[Scahill] is a one-man truth squad" -- Bill Moyers
"[An] utterly gripping and explosive story" -- Naomi Klein,The Guardian

Recenzii
Meticulously researched and fascinating ... Scahill does a fine job
Scahill deserves commendation.
Blackwater is the utterly gripping and explosive story of how the Bush Administration has spent hundreds of millions of public dollars building a parallel corporate army, an army so loyal to far right causes it constitutes nothing less than a Republican Guard. The most important and chilling book about the death throes of U.S. democracy you will read in years and a triumph of investigative reporting.
An explosive piece of investigative journalism
Of all the insane Bush privatization efforts, none is more frightening than the corporatizingof military combat forces. Jeremy Scahill admirably exposes a devastating example ofthis sinister scheme.
A powerful argument against the privatisation of war... exemplary... If the job of writing about "the rise of the world's most powerful mercenary army" seems mightily ambitious, it has been undertaken by just the right person... he's the sort of writer who sets out the evidence and lets us make up our own minds
Revelatory
An exhaustively well-researched expose
[A] revealing study
