Blurb: “WARFARE INCORPORATED
What if the White House controlled a powerful secret army, one large enough to overthrow many of the world's governments? No, this isn't a futuristic thriller, but today's frightening reality. This private army is called Blackwater, and during the last ten years it has won over $1 billion in security contracts through the State Department alone. This corporate army operates outside the law and kills with impunity, yet it has become integral to the military operations of the United States. In Blackwater: The Rise of The World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army, now fully revised and updated,
- award-winning investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill exposes the shocking role that Blackwater has played not only in Iraq and Afghanistan, but around the world:,
- Despite several well-documented killings of innocent Iraqis, no member of Blackwater's security force has ever been charged with a crime in any court.
- Defense Secretary Robert Gates admitted that Blackwater's mission was "at cross-purposes to our larger mission in Iraq," yet Blackwater continues to grow as a privatized parallel structure to the US national security apparatus.
- Even as the US pulls back its military footprint in Iraq, plans are afoot for private contractors like Blackwater to fill the power void,”
