This book uses a Kafkaesque lens to study the public and legal features of the coverage of the Nisour Square shootings of 2007. It illustrates how most American communities were much more interested in regulating private security firms than they were in having legal discussions of potential war crimes.
This book provides academics and lay persons with Kafkaesque readings of our memories of the 2007 Nisour Square shootings in Iraq. The author uses critical analyses of the rise of Blackwater, support for private security firms and private contracting, prosecutorial and defense preparations and the 2014 jury trial to argue that most observers have drastically underestimated the groundswell of support that existed for Erik Prince and many other defenders of military or security outsourcing. This book puts on display the cultural, legal, and political difficulties that confronted those who wanted to try former Blackwater security guards in the name of belated social justice.
