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 '€œBaghdad'€™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 '€œWar on Terror.'€ In his gripping bestseller, award-winning 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.
