In Clouds of Glory (Paperback)

What do you call an outfit that pushes forward when the government wants to stay home? What do you call an organization that operates beyond the accepted frontier, that has its force of fighting men, its politicians, and its board of directors? What do you call an organization set up to penetrate foreign territory, to indulge in extra-national politics, to support its employees? Well you might call it The British East India Company, or the Hudson's Bay Fur Company, or Mr. Sullivan's Agency. But I call it a private government.
