Legionnaires, lansquenets, mercenaries - their adventures, their eventful, perilous lives have always fascinated. They practised and still practise one of the oldest trades of mankind. Even ancient cultures made use of warriors for hire, and in Europe they boomed in the Middle Ages. As conquistadors, they even conquered overseas empires. And recently they are booming again, profiting from an increasingly privatised war and experiencing a new boom from Iraq to South America, from Asia to Africa. The book excitingly tells the history of the "Dogs of War", portrays human fates and shows a development that in a globalised, electronically networked world finally creates a new type of mercenary - a desk warrior at the computer who can paralyse an entire nation with virtuosity.
