Executive Outcomes was a private, military, company founded in South Africa by former Lieutenant-Colonel of the South African Defence Force, Eeben Barlow in 1989. It later became part of the South African-based holding company,Strategic Resource Corporation.
In Angola, Sierra Leone and Papua New Guinea, it stepped in while the UN revealed itself as little more than a debating society. But the motives of this mercenary army are open to question: was it more interested in protecting Sierra Leone\'s diamond mines than the people caught up in a savage guerilla war?
Journalist Jim Hooper followed Executive Outcomes on operations all over Africa and in this book reveals the story of a mercenary army in action.
