An Evening With

JEREMY SCAHILL


Author of

BLACKWATER


THE RISE OF THE WORLD’S MOST POWERFUL

MERCENARY ARMY


Thursday, May 3, 7:00 PM

United Methodist Church 2100 J St.


Jeremy Scahill, a Polk Award-winning investigative journalist returns to Sacramento. A frequent contributor to The Nation magazine and a correspondent for Democracy Now, Scahill has reported extensively from Iraq, the former Yugoslavia and Nigeria. He is currently a Puffin Foundation Writing Fellow at The Nation Institute. Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army is his first book.


About BLACKWATER:

“The rise of this unchecked mercenary force, as Scahill understands, could presage the final stage in the collapse of American democracy.”

Chris Hedges, former New York Times Middle East Bureau Chief



“The most important and chilling book about the death throes of U.S. democracy you will read in years and a triumph of investigative reporting.”

Naomi Klein, author No Logo



"Of all the insane Bush privatization efforts, none is more frightening than the corporatizing of military combat forces. Jeremy Scahill admirably exposes a devastating example of this sinister scheme."

Michael Moore, Academy Award Winning Director



“In this terrifying and thrillingly written book, Jeremy Scahill introduces us to the shape of things to come, and to the kind of people and corporations who are likely to govern our lives if we don't do something about it pretty quickly.”

Arundhati Roy, author The God of Small Things
