Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 2008, I was asked to participate in a plan to stage an armed intervention in Darfur. I believed Blackwater could stage a humanitarian intervention for days or even weeks, and I suggested other options for Greystone that included training Darfurians or African Union peacekeepers to defend against Sudanese aggression. #2 The plan was to send Blackwater to Darfur to help the Janjaweed militias stop the genocide, but the risks outweighed the benefits. In the future, individuals and organizations might overcome such reservations and retain more aggressive PMCs to do their bidding. #3 A free market for force would be closer than many think. As the consumer-in-chief, the United States wields market power to shape private military business practices and norms. As the demand for security in an insecure world increases, supply will expand as emerging firms offer greater combat-oriented possibilities. #4 The future marketplace will be hot spots and conflict zones, such as the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa, because demand for security is high there. Yet introducing an industry vested in conflict into the most conflict-prone places on earth is perplexing, given the possible consequences for the people who live there.

Since before the time of Alexander the Great trained soldiers have sold their expertise on battlefield around the World, fighting and dying in other peoples wars for money, glory or the lust for violence and combat. In this book Harry McCallion explores the development of modern mercenary forces from the British SAS led deniable operation in Yemen in late 1960s, during which the Israelis were persuaded to arm the SAS led Yemeni tribesmen, through the bush wars in Africa, Britains ill fated intervention in the war in Afghanistan right up to todays War in Ukraine. Many of the modern day British mercenaries were known to the author personally. including such notably figures as the legendary SAS Fijian warriors Tak Takevesia who, although in his early sixties shot his way out of an ambush in Bagdad and Fred Big Fred Mrafano who devoted himself to the cause of the people of Serra Leone. SAS veteran .Bill Scully who received the Queen's Gallantry Medal single-handedly protected 1,300 civilians from rebel troops during the uprising in May 199 7after the Sierra Leone coup and American Vietnam veteran Major Mac Mackenzie, who although badly wounded in Vietnam, rose from trooper to command a Rhodesian SAS squadron and was one of the units most highly decorated soldiers. Also included are more notorious figures like Costas Georgiou also known by his alias Colonel Callan who served in the 1st Battalion of the Parachute Regiment but was dishonorably discharged and sentenced to five years in prison for a post office robbery, later he proclaimed himself a Colonel and led a group of psychopathic mercenaries in the Angolan War of Independence, before being captured and executed by Angolan forces. The book explores the roles of modern day mercenaries, whos use has expanded precisely because they are mercenaries, fighting for money and not love of country, their deaths are not seen as a patriotic sacrifice, often they go unreported and in turn helps to conceal the true tragic human cost of waging a war. As one former private military contractor recently stated to Australian TV If you want to conquer in the 21st century you use mercenaries, special forces, things to keep war secret and nobodys better at secret wars than mercenaries.
