Guns, Girls, and Greed is an unvarnished, behind-the-scenes account of the scathing and dangerous lives of mercenaries at war in Iraq.
Discover the world of private contractors carrying out high-risk missions for a fledgling Iraqi government hoping to rebuild after the fall of Saddam Hussein. With limited support, Blackwater men protected American diplomats as the country descended into sectarian violence. It was a dangerous mission, with rockets, mortars, improvised explosive devices, without knowing who or where the enemy was.
Morgan Lerette's irreverently honest memoir shows the pros and cons of injecting private armies into active combat zones in the name of diplomacy and deepens the bonds of brotherhood created by war. With heartbreaking tragedy, dark humor, and parties that make Animal House seem like a Disney movie, this memoir offers a first-hand perspective on how men act and respond to war.
Lerette, a private contractor employed by the notorious Blackwater at the start of the Iraq War, makes no effort to denounce the incompetence of the US military and the State Department during Iraq's collapse. You can decide whether the insertion of private contractors into Iraq helped or hurt the war effort and whether the costs in blood and treasure were worth the carnage.
