在 The Modern Mercenary 一书中，Sean McFate 揭开了这个隐秘世界的面纱，解释了该行业的经济结构，并详细展示了各公司在现实中的运作方式。作为前美国陆军伞兵兼 private military contractor，McFate 提供了关于该行业具体细节无可比拟的视角，并对未来的战争形态给出了发人深省的预判。尽管目前美国政府与美国公司在市场上占据主导地位，但来自其他国家的 private military companies 正在崭露头角，军阀与民兵也纷纷改头换面，以 private security companies 的身份取代

我不同意作者对在外国开展行动的雇佣兵的态度。在读了前黑水公司雇佣兵肖恩·麦克费特的《现代雇佣军》后，我完全确信雇佣军在未来的冲突中占有一席之地，而且是必要且有利的。以阿富汗为例。这是一个处于重大地理……
I disagree with the author's attitude towards mercenaries operating in foreign countries. Having read "The Modern Mercenary", by former Blackwater merc, Sean McFate, I am fully convinced that mercenaries have a desirable and necessary place in future conflicts. Take Afghanistan for example. It is a nation at a major geographic…
“……标志着以威斯特伐利亚主权国家为基础的秩序走向终结的开端，并预示着一个由跨国公司到恐怖组织等多重权威和忠诚相互交叠的新世界秩序。肖恩·麦克费特的《现代雇佣军》就是一本基于这种观点的优秀著作。”
…the beginning of the end of the Westphalian state-based order and signaling a new world order of overlapping authorities and loyalties, from multinational corporations to terrorist organizations. "The Modern Mercenary" by Sean McFate is a good book based on this idea.
如果要找一本更多展望未来而非回顾过去的书，我推荐肖恩·麦克费特的《现代雇佣军：私营军队及其对世界秩序的意义》。在阿富汗/叙利亚等事件之后，可能需要更新一版了。https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Mercenary-Private-Armies-World...
For a book pointing more forward, than looking back, I recommend "The Modern Mercenary: Private Armies and What They Mean for World Order" by Shawn McFate. Could probably use an update post Afghanistan / Syria etc. https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Mercenary-Private-Armies-World...
“……商业化运作，就像国家正规军成为常态之前那样。军事力量主要由雇佣兵构成，战略利益由私营主体决定。肖恩·麦克费特在他的《现代雇佣军》一书中讨论了这种趋势的一些方面。[编者按：有人可能会把动用武力违背印第安人利益修建 Keystone XL 输油管道看作一个微观缩影，说明这种情况不仅会在‘法外之地’上演，甚至还会……”
…enterprise, as before national armies were the norm. Where military power is primarily mercenary, and strategic interest is dictated by private actors. Sean McFate discuss some of this trend in his book "the Modern Mercenary".
