Synopsis "We Were Blackwater: Life, Death and Madness in the Killing Fields of Iraq - An SAS Veteran's Explosive True Story (in English)"
The aftermath of the 2003 Iraq invasion is a story that has yet to betold by those who fought their own war against a brutal insurgency: the privatesecurity operators. Risking life and limb, often side by side with the USmilitary but far more exposed, they were never to receive a hero's homecoming.Remaining in the shadows, often with good cause, that would change for ever on 31March 2004, when a security convoy was ambushed in Fallujah and the charredbodies of four American operators were strung from a road bridge. Those eventswould ensure notoriety for the company involved: Blackwater. This is the untold story of those events; of the security industry andtheir private war; and of Blackwater's war in Iraq - recounted by the man whowas there to witness it all, SAS veteran Barrie Rice. His visceral, no-holds-barred account is brought to life in vivid, often shocking, scenes andlaced with the dark humour of the moment. This gripping account delivers acompelling slice of reality - the inside story of the private contractor's war. We Were Blackwater provides a unique, revelatory insight into thishigh-octane, life-and-death world, where adventurers and wannabes can thrive ordie, living out their dreams and their fantasies with fearsome firepower andfew, if any, rules.
