Licensed to Kill: Hired Guns in the War on Terror by Robert Young Pelton. Already established as the man with the most 'sack in North America, he interviews the new PMC lords (notably Erik Prince and Tim Spicer) and rides shotgun with Blackwater contractors along the deadly Route Irish. An excellent blend of travelogue and journalism, it was informative and more than a little entertaining.
The contractors he interviews don't fit the the blood-and-thunder image of mercenaries, but are mostly former cops and military men who wanted a job where their skill set could be useful.
