Starred Review. This serious study should find its way to most readers of military history. An outstanding survey of the modern mercenary., Geraghty clearly demonstrates that as the major powers havebeen cutting their regular forces, the freelance soldier may wellturn out to be the supreme arbiter of outcomes in such troubleareas as Iraq, Afghanistan, and throughout the Third World.One of the best and most authoritative books on the subject.
