"An authoritative guide to the business of war. Chilling, heartbreaking, and enraging."--Arundhati Roy
Andrew Feinstein reveals the cover-ups behind a range of weapons deals, from the largest in history--between the British and Saudi governments---to the guns-for-diamonds deals in Africa and the current $60 billion U.S. weapons contract with Saudi Arabia.
