Book Description
The complete history of soldiers for hire. From Biblical times and the Crusades through the American Revolution up to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, mercenaries-professional soldiers who contract themselves out to the highest bidder-have played a vital role in most, if not all, military and paramilitary campaigns, helping to determine the victors and the vanquished. Contract Warriors reveals their compelling story for the first time. * Why they fight (and for how much) * How they fight * The unique lifestyle of mercenaries both on and off the battlefield * The spoils and business of war * The current role of mercenaries in the world's arms trade * The significance of the mercenary in popular culture and film Featuring a special afterword by W. Thomas Smith Jr. and his interview with Richard Marcinko, military consultant and author of the bestselling book Rogue Warrior
