Reviews

""Carmola's discussion of the ""risk culture"" within which PMSCs operate is particularly insightful, as is the analysis of their origins, namely as a means to bypass the strict rules of military conduct among Western states when those states are in armed conflict with non-Western nonstate actors."" - CHOICE, March 2011
