review 1: This book is great if your looking to understand military contractors and Blackwater itself. Contractors have been apart of this country since it's founding and will never be abolished contrary to the rhetoric. This company has done a tremendous service for our country and the war on terror, and yet it's very misunderstood and portrayed by the media as evil. It's a very personal account of the rise and fall of a great American success story.
review 2: The book is well-written, and very well edited. Basically, it is as much a personal autobiography of Mr. Prince as it is the story of the Blackwater private security firm he founded and built. Mr. Prince is a self-described religious conservative, and the views related in the book reflect his biases and perspect... moreives. On the whole, however, the facts related in the book seem reasonable and believable to anybody with even the most rudimentary understanding of American politics. It is unfortunate that greedy tort lawyers and politicians with hidden agendas have, literally, chased Mr. Prince from the country of his birth. He has sold his interests in the companies he founded, and moved his family to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Anybody who cares at all about how the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been prosecuted should read this book. less
