History

The founder of Blackwater offers the gripping, previously untold story of the world's most controversial military contractor.

The founder of Blackwater offers the gripping true story of the world's most controversial military contractor.

In 1997, former Navy SEAL Erik Prince started a business that would recruit civilians for the riskiest security jobs in the world. As Blackwater's reputation grew, demand for its services escalated, and its men eventually completed nearly 100,000 missions for both the Bush and Obama administrations.

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

Reviews for Civilian Warriors

Prince's book belongs on the shelf next to the memoirs of the other Iraq and Afghanistan war chieftains.... we need Prince's story to help us understand the history of the post- 9/11 wars and the myriad roles contractors played in these conflicts. -- The Washington Post
