The Dogs of War - story of finance, mercenaries, intrigue and African treasure.

Great war story of a group of mercenaries hired to overthrow a corrupt African government, in order to install an equally corrupt, but friendly to the financial backers of the coup. At stake is a mountain of platinum. Fascinating (and detailed) glimpse into the life of mercenaries, preparations for the assault, acquisition of weapons, and an ending that was totally unexpected. Equaly interesting is the money angle - getting a shell corporation to front for the real backers of the coup. Forsyth knows how to write a hell of a story. Even though the book is over 30 years old, it's timely again, especially with China buying up various African warlords and governments, in order to get access to the natural resources.
