Product Description:
Two experts on government fraud take on the destructive effects of the privatization of war
Review:
"President Eisenhower warned us about the military-industrial complex. But he could not foresee how much more rapacious, wasteful, and dangerous this complex becomes when parts of the military are, in a headlong way, being privatized. We already know the Iraq war is a political and human disaster; these expert muckrakers show us how brazen an act of corporate theft it is as well. An Enron-size rip-off is underway, and few other writers are paying attention to it."--Adam Hochschild, author of "Bury the Chains "and "King Leopold's Ghost""" ""Betraying Our Troops" is a powerful, searing expos about how America has substantially outsourced its war in Iraq, and the dire consequences of privatization to our troops, not to mention government efficiency and accountability. This is a sad tale of greed, arrogance, and cronyism run amok, from two very savvy Pentagon watchdogs who have devoted their respective careers to tracking defense contracting fraud. It will outrage and offend your sense of morality."
--Charles Lewis, founder of the Center for Public Integrity, Washington, D.C."" "This book is a must-read for everyone concerned about the impact of private contractors on this nation's ability to win wars and secure the peace."--Lawrence Korb, former Assistant Secretary of Defense """Dina Rasor and Robert Bauman combine damning evidence with gripping stories from soldiers to show how crooks working for private contractors undercut our military and the war effort. This is an essential document of one of the more shameful episodes in American military history."--John Pike, Director, Globalsecurity.org
