From Columbia to the Congo, Angola to Papua New Guinea, Cambodia to Nicaragua, they have appeared: training the drug cartel armies, assisting rebellions or civil wars, acting as the agents of the major powers. In the Congo crisis (1960-1965) they earned an especially unsavory reputation for greed, brutality and racism; it is a reputation that has stuck to the mercenary and on the whole justly. During the 1990s a new phenomenon has emerged in the form of the mercenary corporations such as Executive Outcomes or Sandline. These corporations offer a range of military expertise and weaponry, have the covert support of governments in the countries from which they come and are rapidly becoming a power to themselves, ultimately far more dangerous than the individual freebooters of the past. | | 出版日期 | Book 1999 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | armed conflict; Armee; Civil War; Cold War; Europe | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-349-27708-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-349-27708-7 | | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 1999 |
