In recent years, local guerillas in balaclavas and speed boats, armed with enormous rounds of ammunition, have taken on the oil companies. They demand the right to live in their own clean and unpolluted land, and that the delta is restored. These dramatic images document for the first time the extent of the enviromental damage and the daily conditions people there are forced to live under, revealing not only to the world, but also to Nigeria itself, what exactly is happening to their country, where everything is being taken from this land - and nothing is being given back to the people.

Halliburton’s Army is the first book to show, in shocking detail, how Halliburton really does business, in Iraq, and around the world. From its vital role as the logistical backbone of the U.S. occupation in Iraq—without Halliburton there could be no war or occupation—to its role in covering up gang-rape amongst its personnel in Baghdad, Halliburton’s Army is a devastating bestiary of corporate malfeasance and political cronyism.Pratap Chatterjee—one of the world’s leading authorities on corporate crime, fraud, and corruption—shows how Halliburton won and then lost its contracts in Iraq, what Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld did for it, and who the company paid off in the U.S. Congress. He brings us inside the Pentagon meetings, where Cheney and Rumsfeld made the decision to send Halliburton to Iraq—as well as many other hot-spots, including Somalia, Yugoslavia, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Guantánamo Bay, and, most recently, New Orleans. He travels to Dubai, where Halliburton has recently moved its headquarters, and exposes the company’s freewheeling ways: executives leading the high life, bribes, graft, skimming, offshore subsidiaries, and the whole arsenal of fraud. Finally, Chatterjee reveals the human costs of the privatization of American military affairs, which is sustained almost entirely by low-paid unskilled Third World workers who work in incredibly dangerous conditions without any labor protection.Halliburton’s Army is a hair-raising exposé of one of the world’s most lethal corporations, essential reading for anyone concerned about the nexus of private companies, government, and war.

Ed McGrath's personal experiences as a pipeline laborer. He knows the oil company camps from Prudhoe Bay to Cold Foot and the pipeliners who live in them; he knows the work, the machines, the money, the weather, the women; he knows the final impact the pipeline will have on the lane and the people: rape and pillage. His quote: "The pipeline is truly a remarkable thing, a tribute to the power of American technology. If there are many questionable aspects to it, there is at least no denying its size. In fact, before the last barrel of crude is pumped out of the ground at Prudhoe bay, the pipeline may generally be recognized as the biggest rip-off of the American consumer yet perpetrated."
