Sobre este artículo
London: Serpent's Tail / Profile Books, 2008. Updated ed.. Paperback thick trade, very good plus condition. 550 pp. Blackwater is the private army and business that the US government has quietly hired to operate in war zones and on American soil. It has a military base, a fleet of aircraft and 20,000 troops, but since September 2007 the firm has been hit by a series of scandals that, nevertheless, have led to unprecedented expansion. This updated edition includes Scahill's continued investigative work into the disturbing privatisation of war.
Sinopsis
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, awardwinning 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.
