In offering explanations for the USs enormous postCold War military budgetnearly $280 billion for the year 2000most defense critics point to the influence of weapon makers porkbarrel politics. Those are certainly factors.But in this eyeopening book, Ken Silverstein looks at another, all but unexamined force: private warriors, the generals, gunrunners and national security staffers who were cast adrift by the end of the Cold War and are now continuing business in the private sector. Private Warriors moves from an arms dealers estate in Vienna to a weapons show in Rio de Janeiro to a Soldier of Fortune convention in Las Vegas. It introduces little known figures such as Ernst Werner Glatt, a rightwing German who for many years was the Pentagons preferred gunrunner, and Andrew Marshall, an aging but still sprightly Cold Warrior who ardently promotes the development of needless new weapons systems.Other encounters are with more recognizable names such as General Alexander Haig, the former Secretary of State who now lobbies for China and sells weapons to Turkey, and Frank Gaffney, an exPentagon official who has grown rich by promoting the biggest boondoggle of them all, Star Wars. Todays private warriors have one thing in common: a financial interest in war, and the connections to push for a continuation of Cold War military policy.
