Blackwater

The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army

De: Jeremy Scahill

Narrado por: Tom Weiner

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.

Informative

Author was great at providing information of Blackwater.
Reader was too monotone to keep my attention and reason for four stars. Hoping to get some energy at the end of the book but, never happened.

Very one sided book

Pretty much just an entire book. Downing black water. A lot of false info. That takes ten seconds to google the actual facts
