"In the early 1990s, the small West African country of Sierra Leone was a gruesome war zone. Over 15,000 rebels roamed the countryside raping, pillaging and brutally murdering everyone in their path. The under-trained and unmotivated Sierra Leone Army was powerless to stop them. As the rebels advanced towards the country's capital, the world held its collective breath... Genocide was imminent. In a desperate attempt to save hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, the government hired the infamous private military company, Executive Outcomes, to quell the tide of blood. Cobus Claassens and his team of 150 mercenaries fought a brutal battle against butchery in Africa and unwittingly faced a foe they were far less prepared for: the manipulations of back room bureaucrats in Geneva and London. Based on an incredible true story, Executive Outcomes is both a politically charged drama and an intense action adventure reminding is that in war, truth is the first casualty."--, Back cover
