With new realities becoming apparent regarding their role in US military campaigns, mercenaries - soldiers and security specialists who contract out to the highest bidder - are a major topic today. From the dawn of military history to the current war in Iraq, mercenaries have played a vital role in most, if not all, military and paramilitary campaigns.
'Contract Warriors' is the only book currently available that tells the dramatic story of mercenaries from the Bible to Ancient Rome, the Crusades to the American War of Independence, wars between world powers and between drug lords, and on present battlefronts in Africa, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
