Blackwater

The New York Times bestseller and scathing exposé now in a fully updated edition.

Meet Blackwater USA, the powerful private army that the U.S. government has made its Praetorian Guard for the "global war on terror." Blackwater has the world's largest private military base, a fleet of twenty aircraft, and 20,000 contractors at the ready. Run by a multimillionaire Christian conservative, its forces are capable of overthrowing governments. Yet most people had never heard of Blackwater until Jeremy Scahill wrote this extraordinary book.
