timeless classic in two forms:
Section I contains the complete thirteen chapters of Sun Tzu's
masterpiece in Chinese together with the English translation of

illustrate principles of leadership in concrete
historical contexts. Kolenda, formerly on the faculty
at West Point, has assembled 19 essays around
three main sections: ancient and modern concepts
of leadership, historical case studies, and
contemporary experiences and reflections on
leadership. His three essays are joined by the
works of experienced military professionals,
including retired three-star Gen. John
Woodmansee, former Army Chief-of-Staff Gordon
Sullivan, and civilian military-science scholar Dennis
Showalter. This rich intellectual fare coherently
defines effective military leadership for both combat
and peacetime training environments. Kolenda
eschews the glib hype found in many books on
leadership in this refreshingly original title. Highly
recommended for all military academy libraries and
for academic libraries supporting history and
military history collections. Dale Farris, Groves, TX

whose behavior there earned them the nickname
les affreux: "the frightful ones." Today's corporate
war-making agencies are bought and sold by
Fortune 500 firms. Even some UN peacekeeping
experts, Singer reports, advocate their use on
grounds of economy and efficiency. Governments
see in them a means of saving money-and
sometimes a way to use low-profile force to solve
awkward, potentially embarrassing situations that
develop on the fringes of policy. Singer describes
three categories of privatized military systems.
"Provider firms" (the best known being the now
reorganized Executive Outcomes) offer direct,
tactical military assistance ranging from training
programs and staff services to front-line combat.
"Consulting firms," like the U.S.-based Military
Professional Resources Inc., draw primarily on
retired senior officers to provide strategic and
administrative expertise on a contract basis. The
ties of such groups to their country of origin, Singer
finds, can be expected to weaken as markets
become more cosmopolitan. Finally, the overlooked
"support firms," like Brown & Root, provide logistic
and maintenance services to armed forces
preferring (or constrained by budgetary factors) to
concentrate their own energies on combat. Singer
takes pains to establish the improvements in
capability and effectiveness privatization allows,
ranging from saving money to reducing human
suffering by ending small-scale conflicts. He is,
however, far more concerned with privatization's
negative implications. Technical issues, like
contract problems, may lead to an operation ending
without regard to a military rationale. A much bigger
problem is the risk of states losing control of military
policy to militaries outside the state systems,
responsible only to their clients, managers, and
stockholders, Singer emphasizes. So far, private
military organizations have behaved cautiously, but
there is no guarantee will continue. Nor can the
moralities of business firms be necessarily expected
to accommodate such niceties as the laws of war.
Singer recommends increased oversight as a first
step in regulation, an eminently reasonable
response to a still imperfectly understood
development in war making.
