Title: War Plc The Rise Of The New Corporate Mercenary
Description: "The 'war on terror' and its lucrative contracts have fuelled the massive expansion of corporate security contractors. Now their plans are more ambitious - to offer governments and corporations discrete and well-trained private armies. With democracies unwilling to see their children die for vague strategic reasons in dusty foreign lands, corporate soldiers are part of the last great outsourcing - the privatisation of war. This book examines how we got here, how these companies operate, and how close we are to letting them run our battlefields."--Jacket.
