Dirty wars / Scahill, Jeremy

Explores the covert side of the United States government's military affairs, presenting evidence that the scope and secrecy of America's black ops missions are wider and more dangerous than anyone in the American media either knows or is willing to tell. Explores covert operations that have gone wrong, with innocent and civilian casualties, and even instances where US citizens have been targeted for killing by their own government.

In Dirty Wars, Jeremy Scahill, author of the New York Times best-seller Blackwater, 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.
