Thank you for hosting us and thank you for making it out today on a less than auspicious weather day. This book is about the return of private military force in International Relations today and i wrote this not simply as an International Scholar but also as a practitioner.

So the genesis of writing this book was not in any way a whistleblower etc. Book it was to pass salience around the clinical issue. That is the origins of why wrote th
