About the Author:

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:

"A Bloody Business is not a dry position paper. Schumacher illustrates his

points through real people, such as a truck driver who was turned down by

the military because of his age. He decides the best way to serve his

country is to practice his trade in Iraq, and we drive the gauntlet with

him. We also see the pride of a female cop who finds her niche in life by

training police forces in places from Bosnia to Iraq in how to protect

their populations, rather than oppress them. And we accompany a team from

an unnamed security contractor as it tries to recover some kidnapped truck

drivers by either bribery or force."
