Book excerpt: WASHINGTON — The Army official who managed the Pentagon's largest contract in Iraq says he was ousted from his job when he refused to approve paying more than $1 billion in questionable charges to KBR..." (James Risen, New York Times, June 17, 2008) This book by that very Army official provides an eye-opening firsthand account of how the US Government hands over your tax dollars to support contractors like KBR and Halliburton, rather than supporting the troops. This authoritative and well-documented record of the LOGCAP contract in Iraq and Afghanistan is at the same time a study of US participation in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the workings of government agencies and Congress. The first chapter sets the scene, briefly narrating the author's work on behalf of US military efforts, especially in Iraq. Subsequent chapters illustrate specific issues in contractor relations that resulted in unsafe conditions for the troops and blew millions of taxpayer dollars. Loyal and hard-working government officials and employees who tried to keep things on track were turned away and those who sought to rein in the free-for-all were sacked. The author reveals problems with KBR's provision of transportation, electricity, food and water. Other chapters are more analytic and evaluate Army logistics, Congressional oversight and the question of whether letting contracts for this kind of support is appropriate at all--the kind of problems that concern military policy leaders, defense analysts, public policy analysts and scholars in these areas, as well as the citizens in whose name this is all done.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government War Contracts Three points stand out prominently in the procedure described under the name of war contracts. The first is that the established system of doing business in the War and Navy Departments broke down early in the war. The second is that the civilians, expert and inexpert, who attempted to carry on business which properly belonged to the departments, where they succeeded at all in doing better than the depart ments themselves, did so usually by violation of the law the very law which, in large measure, prevented the depart ments from doing as well as the civilians did. The third is that it was found necessary to replace a bureaucratic order with the more elastic and freer methods of private business. The history of war contracts shows clearly that there were many men in the War and Navy Departments who were entirely competent to foresee the needs of the country in the crisis and to prepare plans adequate to meet them. They were prevented, however, from doing this by the laws or administrative regulations defining the scope of their author ity. Therefore, as is usual at a time of heated public Opinion, they were accused of incompetence because they did not get results which they were unable to get only because this very public had insisted on tying them hand and foot. This is a commonplace of governmental administration to which pub lic attention needs to be called again and again.
