ABOUT THE BOOK

Blackwater tells the story of the rise of one of the greatest beneficiaries of the "War on Terror," Blackwater Worldwide. A private company based in the wilderness of North Carolina, rooted in the conservative movement and accountable for its actions in Iraq to no one, Blackwater has become central in the U.S. war machine abroad and is increasingly making appearances here at home, from post-Katrina New Orleans to the U.S.-Mexico border. Scahill's updated expose of the company now also takes up important new developments since the book's initial release, including Blackwater's renewed contract in Iraq; a comprehensive report of the Nisour Square shootings that resulted in the deaths of 17 Iraqi civilians and were labeled by U.S. forces as "criminal;" as well as Blackwater's newest ventures in "CIA-type services" and the "War on Drugs." As veteran journalist Bill Moyers explains, "Scahill is a one man truth squad."
