In this shocking expose, two U.S government fraud experts reveal how private contractors have put the lives of countless soldiers on the line while damaging America's strategic interests and image abroad. From the shameful war profiteering of companies like Halliburton/KBR to the sinister influence that corporate lobbyists have on American foreign policy, Rasor and Bauman paint a disturbing picture. Drawing on exclusive sources within government and the military, the authors show how money and power have conspired to undermine America's fighting forces and threaten the country's security.
