Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield by Jeremy Scahill

3.0

Scahill goes into realms less traversed; that of dirty politicking in which governments set-up and arm belligerents for multiple gains but only to have them later turn against their benefactors. What is worse is that to subdue these belligerents, governments resort to underhand tactics in which non-combatants suffer more than the actual combatants. This only exacerbates an already escalating conflict. Scahill does not advise as to how to prevent these conflicts, but treads the moral high ground to evoke our sympathies and he succeeds.

The only discouraging element of this book is its military-political jargon. Keep your dictionaries close for this one.
