She was founder of the Washington D.C. based Project on Military Procurement, a non-profit organization exposing fraud and waste, that she directed for ten years. While Director of her Project on Military Procurement, she exposed many of the defense scandals written about in the 1980 s, including failures in such major weapon systems as the M-1 tank, the B-1 bomber and the cruise missile.

Two experts on government fraud take on the destructive effects of the privatization of war

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dina Rasor is an investigative journalist who founded and ran the Project on Government Oversight, the organization that was responsible for exposing much of the weapons fraud in the 1980s and 1990s, especially for weapons that failed testing and overpriced spare parts. She is now the chief investigator for Follow the Money (www.followthemoneyproject.org), a project that investigates where the money appropriated for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars is going--especially money that should be going to the troops. She lives in El Cerrito, California. Robert Bauman was a criminal investigator with the Department of Defense for 24 years. He lives in San Jose, California. The authors are Principals in the Bauman & Rasor Group, an investigative and consulting firm specializing in lawsuits involving government fraud.
