War Dog: Fighting Other Peoples' Wars

War Dog describes mercenary activity in a number of wars:  Angola, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Lebanon, El Salvador and the Congo Republic. Al J. Venter was one of a handful of correspondents who saw action with the South African 'guns for hire' group Executive Outcomes. His revelations about this organisation as well as what has been going on in the Congo are remarkable. Contains a hundred fascinating, and often shocking, photographs of the mercenaries and their victims.
