Book Synopsis
An examination of the deep politics of war. It takes us from the immediacy of war-zone survival, through the offices of power brokers, to vast extra-legal networks that fuel war and international profiteering. It captures the human face of the front lines, revealing both the visible and the hidden realities of war in the twenty-first century.
