| 520 | |a A former Special Forces soldier'and presidential bodyguard'shares heart-stopping stories of his time as a private military contractor in Iraq.'I remember the cracking sound of the AK-47 bullets as they tore through our windscreen'.'.'. A piece of bullet struck my bulletproof vest in the chest area and another piece broke off and lodged in my left forearm.'Johan Raath and a security team were ambushed in May 2004 while on a mission to reconnoiter a power plant south of Baghdad for an American firm. He had been in the country for only two weeks. This was a taste of what was to come over the next few years as he worked as a private military contractor (PMC) in Iraq. His mission' Not to wage war, but to protect lives. Raath and his team provided security for engineers working on reconstruction projects in Iraq. Whether in the notorious Triangle of Death, in the deadly area around Ramadi, or in the faction-ridden Basra, Raath had numerous hair-raising experiences. Key to his survival was his training as a Special Forces operator, or Recce. This riveting account offers a rare glimpse into the world of private military contractors and the realities of everyday life in one of the world's most violent conflict zones. | ||
