From the NYT bestselling author of The 13th Valley and a high-level private security contractor who worked in Iraq just after the fall of Saddam Hussein, this action-packed memoir now has updated photographs and a new foreword by Ken Herbert, Blackwater's Operations Manager for Ambassador L. Paul Bremer's Security Detail. The Iraqi insurgency was powerful, and the stakes were high. But one man, Frank Gallagher, was determined to protect Paul Bremer, the president's envoy to Iraq.
Bremer banned the Ba'ath party and dismantled the Iraqi army, which made him the prime target for dozens of insurgent and terrorist groups. Blackwater security expert Frank Gallagher and a team of former Marines, SEALs, and other defense professionals arrived just as Baghdad was set to explode.
In his fascinating memoir, Gallagher shares an intimate look at the high-level private security contracting business and his experiences protecting Bremer during his grueling days in Iraq.
This thrilling book includes:
- The courage to face 16-hour days and intense security operations
- An emotional look into the dangers of being a private security contractor as Bremer and the men who guarded him faced death daily
- The experience of being part of the Blackwater response to the insurgency
Experience the high-stakes reality of Iraq during the war with Frank Gallagher's gripping memoir.
