There has been a shift in the way that we understand the forces
behind imperialism. In this book, Andrew Thomson re-evaluates the
history of US imperialism, from the Cold War to today, by looking
at the influence of paramilitary actors. Thomson reveals how these
agents are central to US imperialism - from the Guatemalan coup to
the Bay of Pigs, from Syrian rebel factions to the Soviet-Afghan
War, bringing these narratives together to reveal the evolution of
paramilitary insurgencies across the globe. Militias, mercenaries,
and private companies (PMCs) have formed a central part of the
strategies designed to influence political and economic conditions
abroad, oriented towards the US's Empire. Drawing on declassified
documents including US training manuals, CIA communiques and the
National Security Archive, Outsourced Empire reveals new evidence
that helps us understand these institutions and their collective
role in maintaining global order.
