History of African mercenaries from the Congo to the Seychelles.
"Got to be the best history of the mercenary up to the 1980s still available. Great sections on the Congo and Angola mercenaries in the 60s and 70s. Very detailed information and some great photos. Will be reread and referred to many times. Brilliant book."
"Human vermin," African leaders called them. When mercenaries suddenly reappeared on the twentieth century scene in Katanga in 1960, amazement, dismay, and uproar followed. Since that disconcerting revival of an apparent anachronism, the world came to accept mercenary soldiers.
