This book considers the growing importance of private military companies and efforts to regulate their activities. Private actors are thought by some to be mercenaries; others see them as the market's response to a security vacuum. This book looks at the use of potentially lethal force by non-state actors; how this has differed in situations such as Sierra Leone and Iraq; what rules currently constrain the behaviour of private military companies; and what forces shape the development of this new market.

Alex M. Feldman, Journal of International Law and Politics As a resource, From Mercenaries to Market serves only as a starting point, but a very good one. At only 256 pages, and covering many different topics relating to PMCs, it is impressive that the contributors provide so much useful analysis and information. Every contribution is well cited, and chapters are complimented by a select bibliography that makes taking the next step easy for inquisitive readers

Erkki Holmila, Finnish Yearbook of International Law Despite some critical remarks, both books offer interesting and serious scholarship about a very difficult and controversial topic. In addition, both books offer some fresh angles and even new topics that are not usually examined in the PMC discourse
