Part one looks at the development of private militaries from early mercenary forces to modern coporations; part two deals with the organization and operation of modern private military corporations; and part three considers implications including the effect of market dynamics, the morality of private involvement in conflict for profit, the civil military balance. There are case studies of Executive Outcomes, Military Professional Resources Inc (MPRI), and Brown and Root. Appendix 1 lists web-sites of private military companies. Appendix 2 gives the full text of the contract between Sandline and the government of Papua New Guinea. Bibliography and index.
