Almost everyone assumes that modern democracies can use trade sanctions and arms embargoes to make tin-pot dictators and rogue states mend their ways - that the application of economic pressure is the most effective way to curb aggression and encourage respect for human rights.' 'In Patriots and Profiteers R. T. Naylor demonstrates that economic warfare fails almost everywhere it is attempted, and that, even when it succeeds, its consequences are not only unintended but frequently the precise opposite of their advertised result. Whenever economic pressures have been used to replace or augment military actions, the result has been confusion leading to criminality. From east to west, from before WWI to the recent conflicts in Pakistan, Bosnia, and Iraq, the legacy of economic warfare has been money laundering, gun-running, drug smuggling, and evasion of the rule of law.' 'At once epic and anecdotal, Patriots and Profiteers is populated by a bizarre underworld of warriors and smugglers, gangsters and spies, whose singular careers would seem comic if they weren't entirely real.' --Book Jacket.
