Not what I expected. Much more about the exceedingly complex process of mounting an operation (in the 70’s, in Africa) than an actual shoot ‘em up. Even a little tedious at times, unless you dig finance. But I suppose that’s the point of the the book - mercenaries existed for no other reason than to line the pockets of western capitalists, and the guns were just one tool for plunder.

Good story, well paced, about a forgotten era.
