On September 16, 2007, machine gun fire erupted in Baghdad's Nisour
Square leaving seventeen Iraqi civilians dead, among them women and
children. The shooting spree, labeled "Baghdad's Bloody Sunday,"
was neither the work of Iraqi insurgents nor U. S. soldiers. The
shooters were private forces working for the secretive mercenary
company, Blackwater Worldwide. This is the explosive story of a
company that rose a decade ago from Moyock, North Carolina, to
become one of the most powerful players in the "War on Terror. " In
his gripping bestseller, awardwinning journalist Jeremy Scahill
takes us from the bloodied streets of Iraq to hurricane-ravaged New
Orleans to the chambers of power in Washington, to expose
Blackwater as the frightening new face of the U. S. war machine. *
