"From the very beginning of the Iraq War, American troops have been forced to rely on corporate contractors every step of the way. In the face of military cutbacks and inadequate troop levels, these companies have reaped massive profits by managing some of the most basic military services - escorting truck convoys, transporting supplies, and feeding soldiers." "In this shocking expose, two government fraud experts reveal how these contractors have put the lives of countless American soldiers on the line while damaging our strategic interests and our image abroad. Focusing on the shameful war profiteering of well-known companies, Dina Rasor and Robert Bauman share the real-life experiences of soldiers and contractor employees to paint a disturbing picture of greed and negligence. Betraying Our Troops includes numerous authentic stories sure to inspire outrage."--BOOK JACKET.
