Blackwater

The Rise Of The World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army - Paperback

BY JEREMY SCAHILL

Brief Description:
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 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, journalist Jeremy Scahill exposes Blackwater as the frightening new face of the U.S. war machine.
