In his two-part series on how Washington helped create its enemies in the post-9/11 era, Tom Engelhardt wrote extensively about Dirty Wars for TomDispatch. He says,
Chalmers Johnson was, you might say, our first blowback scholar. Now, more than a decade later, we have a book from our first blowback reporter. His name is Jeremy Scahill... Scahill's reporting couldn’t be more incisive on the subject. Dirty Wars is really the secret history of how Washington launched a series of undeclared wars in the backlands of the planet and killed its way to something that ever more closely resembled an actual global war, creating a world of enemies out of next to nothing.
