 of the rise of one of the greatest beneficiaries of the "War on Terror," 
 Blackwater Worldwide. A private company based in the wilderness of North 
 Carolina, rooted in the conservative movement and accountable for its 
 actions in Iraq to no one, Blackwater has become central in the U.S. war 
 machine abroad and is increasingly making appearances here at home, from 
 post-Katrina New Orleans to the U.S.-Mexico border. Scahill's updated 
 expose of the company now also takes up important new developments since 
 the book's initial release, including Blackwater's renewed contract in 
 Iraq; a comprehensive report of the Nisour Square shootings that resulted 
 in the deaths of 17 Iraqi civilians and were labeled by U.S. forces as 
 "criminal;" as well as Blackwater's newest ventures in "CIA-type services" 
 and the "War on Drugs." As veteran journalist Bill Moyers explains, 
 "Scahill is a one man truth squad." \n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nJeremy Scahill 
 is a frequent contributor to the Nation magazine and a correspondent for 
 the national radio and TV program "Democracy Now!" He is currently a Puffin 
 Foundation Writing Fellow at The Nation Institute. Scahill has won numerous 
 awards for his reporting, including the prestigious George Polk Award, 
 which he won twice. While a correspondent for "Democracy Now!," Scahill 
 reported extensively from Iraq through both the Clinton and Bush 
 administrations. Traveling around the hurricane zone in the wake of 
 Katrina, Scahill exposed the presence of Blackwater forces in New Orleans 
 and his reporting sparked a Congressional inquiry and an internal 
 Department of Homeland Security investigation. He has appeared on ABC World 
 News, CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, CNN, MSNBC, PBS's "The News 
 Hour," "Bill Moyers Journal" and is a frequent guest on other radio and TV
