Mercenaries and War by National Defense University Press Book PDF Summary

Mercenaries are more powerful than experts realize, a grave oversight. Those who assume they are cheap imitations of national armed forces invite disaster because for-profit warriors are a wholly different genus and species of fighter. Private military companies such as the Wagner Group are more like heavily armed multinational corporations than the Marine Corps.

Unsurprisingly, mercenaries do not fight conventionally, and traditional war strategies used against them may backfire.
