Synopsis
In 'Making a Killing', Ashcroft provides a first-hand view of the secret world of private security in Iraq where ex-soldiers employed to protect US and British interests can make up to $1000 a day. But he also reveals a new kind of warfare where the rules are still being written., Between coalition troops and the Iraqi security forces lies an unnamed and uncounted third column: soldiers of fortune. In September 2003, James Ashcroft, a former British Infantry captain who served in West Belfast and Bosnia, landed in Iraq as a 'gun for hire'. It was the beginning of an 18-month journey into chaos. Ashcroft provides a first-hand view of the secret world of private security where ex-soldiers employed to protect US and British interests can make up to $1,000 a day. But he also reveals a new kind of warfare where the rules - if you can call them that - are still being written., Ashcroft, a former British Infantry captain, provides a firsthand view of the secret world of private security where ex-soldiers are employed to protect U.S. and British interests. But he also reveals a new kind of warfare where the rules--if they can be called that--are still being written., In the tradition of Andy McNab's Bravo Two Zero comes an explosive insider's account of life as a private soldier in Iraq. In September 2003, James "Ash" Ashcroft, a former British Infantry captain who served in West Belfast and Bosnia, landed in Iraq as a gun for hire. It was the beginning of an 18-month journey into blood and chaos. Ashcroft provides a firsthand view of the secret world of private security where ex-soldiers employed to protect United States and British interests can make up to $1,000 a day. He also reveals a new kind of warfare where the rules are still being written; although hostilities are officially over, the fighting goes on. Scores of U.S. soldiers die every day and Coalition Forces struggle to defend their own bases, let alone bring order. The death of every insurgent killed only recruits a dozen more to fight Western forces.
