"There's a whole chapter on my son Beau... He was co-located
[twice] near these burn pits." -Joe Biden, former Vice President of
the United States of America The Agent Orange of the 21st
Century... Thousands of American soldiers are returning from the
battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan with severe wounds from
chemical war. They are not the victims of ruthless enemy warfare,
but of their own military commanders. These soldiers, afflicted
with rare cancers and respiratory diseases, were sickened from the
smoke and ash swirling out of the "burn pits" where military
contractors incinerated mountains of trash, including old
stockpiles of mustard and sarin gas, medical waste, and other toxic
material. This shocking work, now for the first time in paperback,
includes: Illustration of the devastation in one soldier's intimate
story A plea for help Connection between the burn pits and Major
Biden's unfortunate suffering and death The burn pits' effects on
native citizens of Iraq: mothers, fathers, and children Denial from
the Department of Defense and others Warning signs that were
ignored and much more Based on thousands of government documents,
over five hundred in-depth medical case studies, and interviews
with more than one thousand veterans and active-duty GIs, The Burn
Pits will shock the nation. The book is more than an explosive work
of investigative journalism-it is the deeply moving chronicle of
the many young men and women who signed up to serve their country
in the wake of 9/11, only to return home permanently damaged, the
victims of their own armed forces' criminal negligence.
