Description
The Privatized Military Industry: A New Era in Warfare. P. W. Singer explores how corporations are increasingly involved in military operations, providing skills and services that were previously exclusive to state militaries. This phenomenon has significant implications for the conduct of war and its consequences. Singer delves into the world of private military companies, tracing their development and growth over time. He examines the various types of firms operating within this industry, including those offering troops for tactical operations, expert advice and training, and logistics support. The author also discusses the role of these companies in recent conflicts, such as the Iraq War. In this updated edition, Singer provides a comprehensive account of the military services industry and its broader implications for international conflict.
