Big Boy Rules, America's Mercenaries Fighting in Iraq. I just finished reading it last night. The author, Steve Fainaru, is a journalist for The Washington Post.
I have to admit it was an interesting read and gives some insight to the internal workings going on in Iraq with private security firms. It was well written and one of those books that you have a hard time putting down. I do have mixed emotions about it though. Of course with the author being a journalist it is my belief that he was only telling part of the story and he most likely has a motive for telling the story the way he did. Journalists tend to only hit on the points that support their cause and beliefs.
I was curious if anyone else has read it and what their thoughts were.
