Blackwater

Solidly written examination of the rise of Blackwater literally from the primordial right-wing ooze of North Carolina to its heights as the praetorian guard of the Neocons in in places such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and New Orleans.

Although wrapping itself in the flag of patriotism and basking in the light of god, Blackwater's true purpose was profiteering, in particular milking the tit of the illegal wars of the Bush administration. Between greed and incompetence Blackwater managed to managed to get their own people killed on more than one occasion, most notably in Fallujah. Nonetheless Blackwater fit perfectly in the Neocon plan to privatize the military to maximize profit and minimize accountability.

While not exactly a potboiler, the book is organized clearly and concisely and written in a straightforward manner that reads quickly.
