Softcover. Condizione: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. Some have claimed that "War is too important to be left to the generals," but P. W. Singer questions, "What about the business executives?" Moving beyond traditional mercenaries, corporations now offer skills and services once reserved for state militaries. Their offerings… include trained commando teams and strategic advice from generals. This emerging "Privatized Military Industry" comprises hundreds of companies, thousands of employees, and billions in revenue. These firms have engaged in conflicts across Africa, Asia, the Balkans, and Latin America, increasingly becoming integral to U.S. military operations. Private corporations, driven by profit, now influence the trajectory of national and international conflicts, yet the implications remain largely unexamined. Singer provides a comprehensive account of the military services industry, detailing its operations and the various types of military providers, including tactical troops, military consultants, and support companies that offer logistics, intelligence, and engineering. While the privatization of warfare introduces new capabilities and efficiencies, it also raises significant concerns regarding democracy, ethics, management, human rights, and national security.

Softcover. Condizione: Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschürfungen / Risse / Knicke; Gebrochener Buchrücken. 2026. Een nieuwe supermacht, The Directorate, is in China aan de macht gekomen. Niet lang daarna wordt er vanaf een ruimtestation van The Directorate, op ruim 300 kilometer van de aarde, met een laser een vitale communicatiesate…lliet van de VS verwoest. Met als gevolg dat het defensiesysteem van het land buiten werking is. Vervolgens vinden er over de hele wereld gecoördineerde aanvallen plaats en wordt het Amerikaans grondgebied binnengedrongen door een bataljon aan tanks en drones en is Hawaii binnen de kortste keren bezet gebied. Maar er is een schip dat de dans tijdens de gevechten ternauwernood ontspringt. Kapitein Jamie Simmons wordt als held onthaalt na zijn schip in veiligheid te hebben gebracht en aan land af te wachten terwijl een oudere generatie schepen, de zogenaamde spookvloot, gevechtsklaar gemaakt worden volgens de 21e eeuwse normen. Het fascinerende Spookvloot is gebaseerd op de kennis van de auteurs op het gebied van hypermoderne militaire ontwikkelingen en technologieën. Ze beschrijven hoe hedendaagse technologieën in volgende generaties gebruikt zullen gaan worden, op manieren waar zelfs Q en James Bond niet van durven dromen.

USA, Cina a Rusko vedou studenou valku v prubehu 21. stoleti, tato studena valka se vsak nahle zmeni v horky konflikt, ktery se odehrava na sousi, ve vzduchu, na mori, ve vesmiru i v kyberprostoru.
