Description

This powerful book critiques mercenary involvement in post-Cold War African conflicts.

The contributors investigate the links between the rise in internal conflicts and the proliferation of mercenary activities in the 1990s; the distinction in the methods adopted by Cold War mercenaries and their contemporary counterparts; the convoluted network between private armies; business interests and sustained poverty in Africa’s poorest countries; and the connection between mercenary activities and arms proliferation.

Countries discussed include Sierra Leone, Zaire, Angola, Uganda and Congo.
