Beskrivning
An urgent work of investigative reporting, Making a Killing follows the deals, shadowy or brazen, connecting London, Washington, and European capitals to the violence and suffering in Yemen and Gaza. Andrew Feinstein and his team of arms trade experts trace a river of blood money flowing through Western nations. The profits of war are corrupting putatively democratic governments in a nightmare of spiralling violence, as money feeds the wars that justify the arms sales.Yemen was all but invisible to the public. The news coverage barely gave a hint of the part Western governments played in supporting a coalition of two authoritarian regimes, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. In stark contrast, Gaza became the world's first livestreamed genocide. Together, these conflicts shattered any notion of an international 'rules-based order'. Undergirding these wars is a network linking Western governments and arms dealers. Politicians habituated to breaking the law enjoy a revolving door into corporate boardrooms where executives enrich themselves from misery.Ceasefire agreements barely worth the name are not going to hold back the violence. The scandalous cycle must be broken. Making a Killing is a devastating exposé that reveals the people who profit from the wars that rip apart the region.

Recensioner i media

With forensic rigour and moral clarity, the authors trace the bombs, money, corporations, governments and political networks that make mass destruction a lucrative industry. The book names the victims, follows the weapons, traces the money and shows that impunity is not accidental; it is organised. Making a Killing performs an essential act of witness and resistance. International law shall be our tool, but law without courage, evidence without action, and outrage without organisation will not be enough.
