'A very important and timely contribution' -- Jasmin Hristov, University of British Colombia, author of Paramilitarism and Neoliberalism (Pluto, 2016) 'Existing works which seek to explain US foreign policy in imperial terms do not pay sufficient attention to the consistent use of para-state networks. Thomson corrects this lacuna, through detailed empirical analyses... an original and distinctive book' -- Sam Raphael, Department of Politics and IR, University of Westminster 'A timely and critical look at the evolution, formation, and role of U.S. propelled paramilitarism... a vital study' -- Jeb Sprague, University of California, Santa Barbara, author of Paramilitarism and the Assault on Democracy in Haiti (Monthly Review Press, 2012)
