New Book Available Now

The Best Kind of War is a detailed account of how Professional Military Corporations (PMC's) or mercenary organizations have evolved into major international corporations. As force multipliers, PMC’s operate in a flexural state of reality. They rely on the continuity of the major world powers for a base of operation from which to function, but need the chaos of the third world as a source of income. PMC’s operate in an environment similar to Wall Street. They need the stability and consistency of mainstream business to maintain professional relationships so contracts can be procured and fees negotiated, but require the frenzy, speculation and quest for power that only a free market can provide. Without one, the other cannot exist.

The Best Kind of War, (if in fact they exist), are those that are quick, brutal and decisive. The Best Kind of War addresses an immediate threat that leaves no doubt who the enemy is, what their objectives are, and what it will take to defeat them. The best kind of war strikes the enemy with the brutality of overwhelming firepower thus leaving them weak, confused, disorganized and vulnerable. The Best Kind of War is decisive with no doubt about the outcome, or who the victor is.

This war won’t be like Vietnam, which was a war of ideology, or World War Two, which was a war of conquest and genocide. This war will be a long war against global terrorism and radical Islam that represent a new evolution in warfare and transcends the traditional. This is a war where conventional forces participate directly with civilians, and engage the enemy not on a battlefield with fixed fortifications and large standing armies, but one that encompasses an endless yet indefinable front. Historians have often described the last century as Pax Americana or the American Century. They may well define the next century as the age of professional Military Corporation.
