About this audiobook
The shocking story of how the American government charged brave veterans with phony war crimes to placate foreign autocrats.
Gina Keating is proud of being a liberal and a journalist. She always has been. So when Keating first looked into the Raven 23 case, she expected to find the government doing its job, giving its war fighters a fair trial. Instead, she found that Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, and Barack Obama had rammed four Americans’ convictions through the courts. It would take Donald Trump’s eleventh-hour pardon to correct this terrible miscarriage of justice. These discoveries, and her subsequent investigation, would flip Gina’s world upside down.
The events in Nisour Square, Baghdad, constituted one of the most tragic events of the Iraq War. Blackwater employees Dustin Heard, Paul Slough, Nick Slatten, and Evan Liberty fired “unprovoked” into a crowd of civilians. At least, that’s how the official story went. But that story was a lie. In fact, the former servicemen had been fired on by insurgents and had engaged according to the rules of war—a reality that the US government would spend the next decade suppressing as DOJ wasted countless taxpayer dollars prosecuting innocent men.
Raven 23 charts the story of the government’s battle against justice, which spanned a decade, three trials, and numerous twists and turns. Full of shocking revelations of prosecutorial misconduct and depravity at the highest levels, Raven 23 is a must-read exposé of how the justice system was weaponized against men who risked their lives to keep their country safe.
