Book Reviews of A Bloody Business: America's War Zone Contractors and the Occupation of Iraq

Book Review: Interesting, but too much Message
Summary: 4 Stars

This book had tons of information and great stories but it also had almost 3 pages of political jargon at the start of each chapter. If you can wade through the "commercials" for private contracting you will enjoy this book.
