Description
Shawn Engbrecht has been training and recruiting private military contractors for more than a decade. Acknowledging that some private military contractors are out of control, he argues that the oft-made suggestion to fire them all is not the solution. Instead, Engbrecht contends that with proper training and development of recruits, along with enforceable regulation and oversight, private security companies can be successfully integrated into a total force package with a professional operational staff.
Reviews
"With its dramatic increase in the use of private contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. government knowingly incorporated the profit motive and a mercenary culture into how it wages modern war. The results have often been tragic and underreported. With America's Covert Warriors, Shawn Engbrecht offers a timely warning from good people caught in a corrupting enterprise."-James Kitfield, senior correspondent, National Journal, and author of War and Destiny and Prodigal Soldiers
