Civilian Warriors: The Inside Story of Blackwater and the Unsung Heroes of the War on Terror

The founder ofÂ Blackwater offers theÂ gripping true storyÂ of the worldâ€™s mostÂ controversial militaryÂ contractor.

In 1997, former Navy SEAL Erik Prince started a business that would recruit civiliansÂ for the riskiest security jobs in the world. As Blackwaterâ€™s reputation grew, demandÂ for its services escalated, and its men eventually completed nearly 100,000 missionsÂ for both the Bush and Obama administrations.

It was a huge success except for one problem: Blackwater was demonized around theÂ world. Its employees were smeared as mercenaries, profiteers, or worse. And becauseÂ of the secrecy requirements of its contracts with the Pentagon, the State Department,Â and the CIA, Prince was unable to correct false information. But now heâ€™s finally ableÂ to tell the full story about some of the biggest controversies of the War on Terror, in aÂ memoir that reads like a thriller.
