<b>In <i>Dirty Wars</i>, Jeremy Scahill, author of the New York Times best-seller <i>
Blackwater</i>, takes us inside America’s new covert wars. The foot soldiers
in these battles operate globally and inside the United States with
orders from the White House to do whatever is necessary to hunt down,
capture or kill individuals designated by the president as enemies.</b><br />
<br />
Drawn from the ranks of the Navy SEALs, Delta Force, former Blackwater
and other private security contractors, the CIA’s Special Activities
Division and the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), these elite
soldiers operate worldwide, with thousands of secret commandos working
in more than one hundred countries. Funded through “black budgets,”
Special Operations Forces conduct missions in denied areas, engage in
targeted killings, snatch and grab individuals and direct drone, AC-130
and cruise missile strikes. While the Bush administration deployed these
ghost militias, President Barack Obama has expanded their operations
and given them new scope and legitimacy. Dirty Wars follows the
consequences of the declaration that “the world is a battlefield,” as
Scahill uncovers the most important foreign policy story of our time.
From Afghanistan to Yemen, Somalia and beyond, Scahill reports from the
frontlines in this high-stakes investigation and explores the depths of
America’s global killing machine. He goes beneath the surface of these
covert wars, conducted in the shadows, outside the range of the press,
without effective congressional oversight or public debate. And, based
on unprecedented access, Scahill tells the chilling story of an American
citizen marked for assassination by his own government.<br />
<br />
As US leaders draw the country deeper into conflicts across the globe,
setting the world stage for enormous destabilization and blowback,
Americans are not only at greater risk—we are changing as a nation.
Scahill unmasks the shadow warriors who prosecute these secret wars and
puts a human face on the casualties of unaccountable violence that is
now official policy: victims of night raids, secret prisons, cruise
missile attacks and drone strikes, and whole classes of people branded
as “suspected militants.” Through his brave reporting, Scahill exposes
the true nature of the dirty wars the United States government struggles
to keep hidden.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Praise for <i>Dirty Wars</i>:</b><br />
<br />
“There is no journalist in America who has exposed the truth about US
government militarism more bravely, more relentlessly and more valuably
than Jeremy Scahill. <i>Dirty Wars</i> is highly gripping and dramatic, and of
unparalleled importance in understanding the destruction being sown in
our name.”<br />
—Glenn Greenwald, New York Times best-selling author and Guardian columnist<br />
<br />
“<i>Dirty Wars</i> tells us, with convincing detail and much new information, what has been done in the name of America since 9/11.”<br />
—Seymour Hersh<br />
<br />
“<i>Dirty Wars</i> is the most thorough and authoritative history I’ve read yet
of the causes and consequences of America’s post-9/11 conflation of war
and national security. I know of no other journalist who could have
written it: For over a decade, Scahill has visited the war zones, overt
and covert; interviewed the soldiers, spooks, jihadists, and victims;
and seen with his own eyes the fruits of America’s bipartisan war fever.
He risked his life many times over to write this book, and the result
is a masterpiece of insight, journalism, and true patriotism.”<br />
—Barry Eisler, novelist and former operative in the CIA’s Directorate of Operations<br />
