Description: For as long as armies have clashed of fiery fields of battle, professional soldiers of fortune have fought, bled, and died. The ultimate warriors, these are the men who take the risks that others would never dare, and who are willing to die, if need be, in pursuit of their objective: total victory on the field of war. MERCS is a collection of remarkable true accounts of mercenaries in action -- from the ancient Greeks against the Persians in 400 B.C. to the blood-curdling siege at Vietnam's Dien Bein Phu and the modern-day drug wars of Central and South America. Here are stories of incredible battleground stands, of daring raids and revolutionary operations, of astonishing bravery in desperate situations -- and of the rare breed of fighting men who made war their vocation ... and honor their guide.
