Produktbeschreibung
A war can be fought without a declaration, a uniform, or a vote. It only needs a contract. This book exposes how hired force moves decisions from parliaments to procurement desks, turning sovereignty into something you can rent and responsibility into something you can evade. If you want to understand today's private military companies, the Wagner headlines, and the legacy of Blackwater, start here. Across gripping case studies and clear models, you'll see how mercenaries in modern war operate as businesses, how accountability in private security breaks on purpose, and why the laws of war contractors navigate are built with loopholes. You'll follow the money through "security for resources" deals, track the rise of drone and cyber mercenaries, and learn how markets manufacture deniable warfare. This is for readers who care about democracy, human rights, and hard policy design as much as frontline stories. - What governments really buy when they outsource force - How oversight fails and what a fix with teeth looks like - Where Wagner Group in Africa fits within a global pattern - How to recognise a security for resources deals script before it unfolds By the end, you'll carry a practical lens for spotting marketised violence, a language to interrogate it, and a policy playbook to demand change. If you are searching for regulating PMCs that actually works, this book trades buzzwords for tools and gives you a way to read the next conflict before it hits the news.
Autorenporträt
Omar Al-Masri writes with the conviction that money is not only an economic tool but a force that shapes empires, wars, and the fate of ordinary people. Growing up at the crossroads of East and West, he witnessed how sanctions, exchange rates, and remittances can alter lives more sharply than politics or armies. His work draws on history, law, and philosophy to reveal the hidden machinery of financial power-what it enables, and what it destroys. Al-Masri's writing combines the clarity of a strategist with the empathy of someone who has seen families wait for wire transfers that never arrive. His mission is to equip readers with the lens of "currency statecraft," so they can understand the quiet wars that determine prosperity, stability, and sovereignty in the twenty-first century.
