Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army de Jeremy Scahill

Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army

Autor Jeremy Scahill
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mai 2008
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 working for the secretive mercenary company, Blackwater Worldwide. This is the explosive story of a company that rose a decade ago from Moyock, North Carolina, to become one of the most powerful players in the War on Terror." In his gripping bestseller, 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 expose Blackwater as the frightening new face of the U.S. war machine.

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
