Summary

Two respected journalists tell the incredible story of Viktor Bout, the Russian weapons supplier whose global network has changed the way modern warfare is fought. Bout's vast enterprise of guns, planes, and money has fueled internecine slaughter in Africa and aided both militant Islamic fanatics in Afghanistan and the American military in Iraq. This book combines spy thrills with crucial insights on the shortcomings of a U.S. foreign policy that fails to confront the lucrative and lethal arms trade that erodes global security. Douglas Farah (Takoma Park, MD) is the former West African bureau chief of the Washington Post and the author of Blood from Stones: The Secret Financial Network of Terror (978-0-7679-1562-5). Stephen Braun (Washington, DC) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning national correspondent for the Los Angeles Times, based in Washington.
