Blackwater:
The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army
(2007)
Meet Blackwater, USA, the world's most
secretive and powerful mercenary firm. Based in the wilderness of
North Carolina, it is the fastest-growing private army on the planet
with forces capable of carrying out regime change throughout the
world. Blackwater protects the top US officials in Iraq and yet we
know almost nothing about the firm's quasi-military operations in
Iraq, Afghanistan and inside the US. Blackwater was founded by an
extreme right-wing fundamentalist Christian mega-millionaire ex-
Navy Seal named Erik Prince, the scion of a wealthy conservative
family that bankrolls far-right-wing causes.
Blackwater is the dark story of the rise of a powerful mercenary
army, ranging from the blood-soaked streets of Fallujah to rooftop
firefights in Najaf to the hurricane-ravaged US gulf to Washington
DC, where Blackwater executives are hailed as new heroes in the war
on terror. This is an extraordinary exposé by one of America's most
exciting young radical journalists. | |
