Blackwater: Mercenary Army (Pm Audio)
Blackwater rose a decade ago to become one of the most powerful players in the war on terror. In this audio CD, Jeremy Scahill exposes the secretive company as a frightening new face in the war machine. He discusses various topics and the research behind his bestselling Blackwater book, ranging from Iraq to hurrican-ravaged New Orleans to the chambers of power in Washington, D.C.

Review:
Meticulously researched and fascinating ... Scahill does a fine job (Sunday Times)
Scahill deserves commendation. (New Statesman)
Blackwater is the utterly gripping and explosive story of how the Bush Administration has spent hundreds of millions of public dollars building a parallel corporate army, an army so loyal to far right causes it constitutes nothing less than a Republican Guard. The most important and chilling book about the death throes of U.S. democracy you will read in years and a triumph of investigative reporting. (Naomi Klein, author No Logo)
An explosive piece of investigative journalism (Ben Myers Shortlist 2008-07-04)
A powerful argument against the privatisation of war... exemplary... If the job of writing about "the rise of the world's most powerful mercenary army" seems mightily ambitious, it has been undertaken by just the right person... he's the sort of writer who sets out the evidence and lets us make up our own minds (Big Issue 2008-08-18)
Revelatory (Aimee Shalan Guardian 2008-08-30)
An exhaustively well-researched expose (Alastair Mabbott Herald 2008-08-23)
[A] revealing study (Tom Widger Sunday Tribune 2008-08-10)

An explosive piece of investigative journalism (Ben Myers Shortlist 2008-07-04)
Of all the insane Bush privatization efforts, none is more frightening than the corporatizing
of military combat forces. Jeremy Scahill admirably exposes a devastating example of
this sinister scheme.
