You know, when you read a lot of fiction regarding mercenaries, you sorta get an idea of what goes on in the real world. I have to admit that as a writer of mercenary fiction (in the military science fiction vein), I had some ideas, but this book helped me realize more about what to do and how. The book is not exhaustive, but it offers a wealth of information on current PMC and mercenary operations and how they mesh with the real world. Such as PMCs during OEF, and my ignorance of the fact that Afghan PMCs guarded (to some degree) the supply convoys we all depended on. That was an eye-opener, and the book goes over a lot more, and helps you understand the legalities and the fine legal details of PMCs and mercenaries today—stuff which can be used in fiction to give some authenticity and the like.
