- This monograph is based on three years of research built around interviews with contractors and mercenaries who have never spoken to an academic before. Their unique insights provide the foundation for the important normative argument made in this book advocating the commercialisation of warfare in the specific case of humanitarian intervention. Unlike other work in the field of the commercialisation of security, this book makes a conceptual argument drawing on empirical data that has never been accessed before. This provides the argument with unique credibility while for the first time showing how private military companies operate when executing combat operations.
