Reviews
"Scahill provided me information…which I have not been able to get from the U.S. military…I have read more from Mr. Scahill, than I've got from our own government."-Representative Marcy Kaptur, Defense Appropriations Committee "[T]his is no uninformed partisan screed…Meticulously documented and encyclopedic in scope…it's a comprehensive and authoritative guide…this book serves as a provocative primer for advancing the debate."-Bill Sizemore, Pulitzer-prize nominated journalist,Virginian-Pilot "Andy McNab couldn't have invented this prescient tale of the private army of mercenaries run by a Christian conservative millionaire who, in turn, bankrolls the president. A chilling exposÉ of the ultimate military outsource."-Christopher Fowler,The New Review's "Best Books of 2007" "Fascinating and magnificently documented…Jeremy Scahill's new book is a brilliant exposÉ and belongs on the reading list of any conscientious citizen."-Scott Horton, International and Military Law Expert, Columbia University Law School, "Thanks to Jeremy Scahill and other reporters of conscience and courage, 'independent journalist' is not an oxymoron." -- Ray McGovern, Virginian-Pilot "At Blackwater USA, Jeremy Scahill's is the face they love to hate… [He is] perhaps the private military company's most dogged critic." Bill Maher, host of HBO's "Real Time" "[Scahill's] book is so scary and so illuminating." The Guardian(London) "Blackwater being rarely out of the news lately, this is a very useful survey of modern mercenaries or, as they prefer to be called, 'private security contractors' in the 'peace and stability industry'…Scahill is a sharp investigative writer." Scarlett Johansson, actor "It should be mandatory reading. It's very interesting and scary.", "A crackling exposÉ of the secretive military contractor Blackwater."-The New York Times Book Review "[Scahill] is a one-man truth squad."-Bill Moyers "[An] utterly gripping and explosive story."-Naomi Klein,The Guardian "The biggest book of the year…an amazingly researched and well-told story."-Matthew Rothschild,The Progressive "Scahill's page-turning collection of intrigue and insight into the underworld of privatized warfare is well researched, thoroughly documented, and as a result extremely frightening."-The Globe and Mail, "From Belgrade to Baghdad, from Nigeria to New Orleans, Jeremy Scahill leads a new generation of muckraking journalists. Scahill is exposing the dark, violent and secretive world of the neo-mercenaries Washington is increasingly deploying in its wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and at home in the US. His investigative skill, coupled with his graceful style make this book essential reading." -- Amy Goodman
