Nonfiction Books of 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 U.S. officials in Iraq and yet the world knows
almost nothing about the firm’s quasi-military operations in
Iraq, Afghanistan, and inside the United States. This 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 U.S. Gulf Coast
to Washington D.C., where Blackwater executives are hailed
as new heroes in the war on terror. Comments
