Civilian warriors. Great book. One of the best I've read. I like the reading/seeing the POV first hand from the person who's taking the brunt of the punishment that the main stream media is trying to make its ratings or support their radical left wing ideologies on. This book might give you some insight on the agendas you would like you congressman or representative to focus on. Best of luck to Mr. Prince and future endeavors.

Do NOT miss this one... I have to thank the author, for his service, and for seeing that this story is told!! This book is well written, fascinating, and provides insight into an element of our nation’s defense that’s important for the American people to understand. It’s great to see the Good Guys finally getting a chance to get the real story told. My son is an Lt. serving in the US Army, and he gets a copy of this for Christmas.

CW. My hats off to Mr. Prince. Job well done Sir

Civilian Warriors by Eric Prince. This book details (and details and details) the rise and decline...not fall,but decline of Blackwater. Interesting,informative and infuriating because of the interference and grand-standing of politicians and governmental professional idiots. The one thing that Prince and other pros who deal with largely inefficient and interfering idiots is that there is ALWAYS someone who can say no.....Recommended.

Telling the other side of the infamous Blackwater story.. I will admit to not being a dedicated reader, often buying a book to slowly if ever fully read. After watching interviews of Erik Prince online I finally "pulled the trigger" (I couldn't resist) and purchased it. I have never been so engrossed or read so fast a book of this length, completing it in 6 days between a hectic schedule of work and school. I loved it! This book dives into how the man came to be, why he did what he did, how they (Blackwater) became so successful and the eventual downfall of a company that could have made a dramatic positive change to the world. With time comes insight, the political fever wanes and calmer heads prevail. Is he spinning his own history, maybe, but from this I found a look back from the other side of the story that seems more believable. This book also should be noted for its overall business lessons that any entrepreneur should know. I highly recommend this book just to remind you that there is always at least two sides to a story and both deserve attention.

Civilian Warriors. Anyone who would trust the political machine in Washington needs to rethink their goals. They are not trust worthy and will screw great companies and men every time. A Viet Nam Vet

Civilian Warriors. This was a very good book for anyone interested in the inside story about Blackwater. I myself only knew what I had read in the media which had often portrayed this organization in a very unfavorable light. After seeing Mr. Prince interviewed by Jon Stewart I decided to see what he had to say about his company or rather former company. As a former infantryman I was very glad to learn that almost all employees of this company were former military, had I been younger when this company formed it is exactly where I would have gravitated to myself when I left the Army. I believe what Mr. Prince writes in his book and I think everyone with an interest in how our government projects it's image around the world will find this book a good read. While it is clear Mr. Prince is a staunch conservative, I still believe he gives an evenhanded look at the under belly of our government regardless of which party is at the helm. You won't be disappointed and you just might learn something.

Great read. Great book! It's nice to hear the other side.

Two sides. There are always at least two sides to every story and this book details the events that unfolded according to Eric Prince/Blackwater. As a former special operator myself I always knew there was something more to the story than what had been portrayed in the media. This was a good read.

American Secret Police. All hail the Christian Taliban.

Civilan Warriors. fact filled and honest. Erik Prince has a platform here to set the record straight about his company and the relationship government keeps with mercenaries. Good read and facts are researched and backed up. read truth to power and respect these people.

Great history on PMCs. I thoroughly enjoyed the information and history behind this book.

Civilian Warriors. Great read, illustrating capitalism just like necessity, as the motive for invention. With politicians involved, one wonders in amazement at the sense of patriotism necessary to stay the course.

What a crock!. Seriously just garbage upon garbage!

Great book. Erik Prince, Blackwater and their employees were demonized for no real reason. War is never pretty and these men did nothing immoral.

Thank you. I'm glad that Eric Prince wrote this book. I've always assumed there was more to the Blackwater story than I had read in the news, etc. While Prince expresses a sense of regret at the end of the book, I believe he is a visionary and his business model will be here for years to come.

Finally, the other side of the coin. Near brilliant. As the reader is warned up front, "Now it's my turn." The book would have gotten all five stars if not for the axe grinding, for me a bit overdone and at times tedious. I understand fully the burying of the point for the incredibly obtuse. We have them, some to my chagrin represent the great state of California in congress and the house. As a native Californian who has never, and will never cast my vote for their kind, I am ever happy to see them put in their naively self aggrandizing place. I'm further encouraged to know the depths of patriotism and humanity previously untold in this story. I love America and value both sides of the isle, but I especially despise those who, having never picked up a rifle to defend anyone, would lay shame at the feet of those who do so in the defense of this nation. It's unconscionable to see it done by the ignorant for politic. I for one, am re-energized to hear a patriots story come of all the mud-slinging in this case. Thanks to this work, I've turned a new corner in my understanding and my appreciation for this story. To Mr. Erik Prince: A humble thank you, for your service, and your commitment to this great land. You will remain forever in my eyes a far greater patriot, of far greater value to the world, than your detractors. "Who dares wins." Thank you for daring where others can only karp.

I would have liked more honesty. Sadly, the author is hopelessly biased and seems so self-righteously committed to one narrow version of events that all opposing interpretations are discounted. At a core level, please remember: this is a mercenary company. That is not in dispute. They advertise their services, those services are bid on, they perform those services. Nothing inherently wrong there in and of itself, but please, no laudatory comparisons likening this for-profit, mercenary corporation to national heroes, ok? I wonder how the citizen-soldiers of world wars one & two would feel about a highly-paid, unaccountable and shadowy corporation of mercenaries receiving such praise.

What a ride!!. Fantastic & exhausting account of the rise and fall of a great company. I am proud to have worked there and have the utmost respect for my old boss. I'll work for him again in a heartbeat!

Excellent!. A great memoir telling his side of the story...the news and pols only ever 'report' the view that fits a narrative that exists in their world. Thanks Erik for filling in all the gaps in the history of Blackwater and your life. All the best in your future!

What really happened!. Nice to the truth!
