About the book: 2016 / American journalist Jeremy Scahill devoted his investigation to the wars waged around the world by the United States. For more than ten years, he visited war zones - as a journalist for the Democracy Now program, he visited Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, etc. - he interviewed soldiers, bandits, jihadists, victims, and the materials he obtained became the basis of more than one trial in Congress. Scahill saw first-hand the consequences of the war fever that gripped America, and more than once he had to risk his life to write his book, which became one of the most carefully documented books on US covert operations carried out in the 21st century..
