Hardcover with dustjacket in good condition - spine a little sunned and there is foxing present. Please see pics. Otherwise a good, firm copy.

In this cool informative and highly readable account Anthony Mockler tells the story of a quarter of a century that has passed since the Katanga days. He places each episode - whether violent, tragic or farcical - in its context, both human and political, and he places the mercenary phenomenon itself against its historical background.
