About This Book
"Private Warriors moves from an arms dealer's estate in Vienna to a weapons show in Rio de Janeiro to a Soldier of Fortune convention in Las Vegas. It introduces little known figures such as Ernst Werner Glatt, a right-wing German who for many years was the Pentagon's preferred gunrunner, and Andrew Marshall, a long-time Pentagon hand who promotes the development of needless new weapons systems. Others encountered have more recognizable names, such as General Alexander Haig, the former Secretary of State who now lobbies for China and helps sell weapons to Turkey, and Frank Gaffney, an ex-Pentagon official who has grown rich by promoting the biggest boondoggle of them all, Star Wars. Today's private warriors have one thing in common: a financial interet in war, and the connections to push for a continuation of Cold War military policy."--BOOK JACKET.
