In his book, American journalist Jeremy Scahill reveals the history of the transformation of an ordinary security company into the largest private army in the world, whose main activity is participation in international military conflicts, and whose main customer is the state. In Afghanistan and Iraq, Blackwater (now Academi) carried out particularly brutal killings of civilians and smuggled weapons, which received widespread media coverage. The author exposes the true essence and power of a parallel private army, on which the US government has spent hundreds of millions of dollars and for which there are no laws or moral principles.
