<b>The founder of&#160;Blackwater offers the&#160;gripping true story&#160;of the world&#146;s most&#160;controversial military&#160;contractor.</b><br><br>In 1997 former Navy SEAL Erik Prince started a business that would recruit civilians&#160;for the riskiest security jobs in the world. As Blackwater&#146;s reputation grew demand&#160;for its services escalated and its men eventually completed nearly 100000 missions&#160;for both the Bush and Obama administrations.<p><br>It was a huge success except for one problem: Blackwater was demonized around the&#160;world. Its employees were smeared as mercenaries profiteers or worse.

But now he&#146;s finally able&#160;to tell the full story about some of the biggest controversies of the War on Terror in a&#160;memoir that reads like a thriller.</p>
