Journey into Iraq's parallel, "outsourced" war--a world filled with tens of thousands of armed men roaming Iraq with impunity, doing jobs the military can't or won't do. They are "private security contractors"--the U.S. government's sanitized name for modern mercenaries--working for companies like Crescent Security Group, Triple Canopy, and Blackwater Worldwide. Fainaru reveals what drives these men to do the world's most dangerous work. From publisher description.
