Quick Review – Blackwater – Jeremy Scahill
Blackwater, by Jeremy Scahill is single-handedly the best book I’ve read on warmongering, capitalism, and Christian crusading (all masquerading as promoting democracy and freedom) that I’ve read in years. While the book is, on the surface, about Blackwater (now Xe), it tells a horrifying thirty to forty year tale of the America’s warmongering and how it continues to perpetuate unabated. Recently a survey asked what was the country most dangerous to the United States. Before I had a chance to study the multiple choice answers, I blurted out, the United States. This book shows you why that is the answer – and not any axis of evil perpetuated by right (or left) wing propaganda.
