Merc 2000
Osprey has a new Elite series title out, Soldiers of Fortune: Mercenaries and Military Adventurers, 1960-2020
The author addresses both foreign volunteers in military units (mostly in regards to Rhodesia and South Africa) and mercenary companies/PMCs. The illustrator, Peter Dennis, is one of the better ones (IMHO) currently working for Osprey, but his work here looks a little rushed, and some of the color plate subjects seem like poor choices (lacking in interesting and/or distinct details).
Still, for one interested in mercenaries, or thinking of running a historical merc campaign, it's probably a worthwhile resource.
