About this ebook
“Suzanne Simons is a masterful storyteller. But make no mistake—Master of War is not a work of fiction….A powerful and true account.”
—Wolf Blitzer, anchor, CNN’s The Situation Room
Master of War is the riveting true story of Eric Prince, the ex-Navy SEAL who founded Blackwater and built the world’s largest military contractor, privatizing war for client nations around the world. A CNN producer and anchor, Suzanne Simons is the first journalist to get deep inside Blackwater—and, as a result of her unprecedented access, Master of War provides the most complete and revelatory account of the rise of this powerful corporate army and the remarkable entrepreneur who brought it into being, while offering an eye-opening, behind-the-scenes look at the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Reviews for Master of War
8 ratings1 review
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Poorly researched, poorly written, hit piece that failed to deliver on what the title promised: a view of the man behind the contractor phenomenon. She failed to even talk to contractors who were/are actually in the field to provide that vantage point relying solely on the executive team and not much from them. She could have provided a better view of Prince and contractors for the American public and failed to do either.
