Equally courageous, equally deadly, the British mercenaries in Bosnia have a story to tell as amazing as 'The One That Got Away', but a story without official blessing. 'War Dogs' follows the fortunes of a gang of eight British mercenaries, a mixed bunch, old and cynical, young and naive, mean and psychotic, two idealists, and the rest just in it for the money. Each of these rogue warriors has his own special skills, strengths and weaknesses, and are all tested in an increasingly terrifying and desperate series of engagements with the enemy. Both sides fight dirty, this is an insider's account of the war in Bosnia that goes far beyond what we read in the newspapers. Not all of them make it back to Britain, one boy with no military experience has told his mother he is working in Eurodisney, and she only finds out the truth when he comes back in a box.

Klappentext
This is a compelling narrative of a wild bunch of mercenaries working in Bosnia, told in the language of the men who are fighting and dying for a cause which is not their own.
Are they psychotic killers? Courageous heroes fighting for the underdog? Professionals doing the only job they know how? 'Cowboys' out for the fast buck? Or just bloody fools?
