Summary, etc |
Amidst the ongoing controversy over the widespread employment of private military contractors in Iraq, this is a mercenary's graphic, first-person exposé of life in "the second biggest army in Iraq." Hired to do everything from securing American bases and supply routes to guarding the thousands of government officials, executives, aid workers, journalists, and other civilians now populating the Middle East's most notorious target range, today's clandestine soldiers of fortune earn up to $1,000 a day, while remaining almost entirely immune from government oversight, military authority, or Iraqi law. John Geddes, a former warrant officer in Britain's elite SAS and veteran of several wars, became a private military contractor in Iraq immediately following President George W. Bush's declaration of the end of hostilities in early May 2003. Here he gives an unsparing account of his harrowing, often bloody, and occasionally absurd adventures in the wild west of Iraq.--From publisher description. |
