In this shocking exposé, two government fraud experts reveal
how private contractors have put the lives of countless
American soldiers on the line while damaging our strategic
interests and our image abroad. From the shameful war
profiteering of companies like Halliburton/KBR to the
sinister influence that corporate lobbyists have on American
foreign policy, Dina Rasor and Robert H. Bauman paint a
disturbing picture. Here they give the inside story on
troops forced to subsist on little food and contaminated
water, on officers afraid to lodge complaints because of
Halliburton's political clout, on millions of dollars in
contractors' bogus claims that are funded by American
taxpayers. Drawing on exclusive sources within government
and the military, the authors show how money and power have
conspired to undermine our fighting forces and threaten the
security of our country.
