Customer Reviews: a fascinating insight August 15, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This book has changed the way I see warfare. It is a strikingly well researched investigation into modern warfare. I would whole heartedly recommend it. War gets privatised July 8, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful Since pretty much everything else has been privatised in the West, it was only a matter of time before war itself got sold to the highest bidder. In this clearly written, meticulously researched investigation on the modern day equivalent of the mercenary the private security contractor, Stephen Armstrong goes deep into the world of former SAS men, foreign legionnaires and underpaid foot soldiers who discover the benefits of being paid $10,000 a month to spy on pesky environmenalists, fight off pirates and, most of all, protect oil fields from Iraqi insurgents. This is frequently shocking material - Donald Rumsfeld suggesting replacing the Ministry Of Defence with the Private Sector 24 hours before 9/11, for example -- and essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the reality of war and "security" in a free market economy.
