You're right, that is what I was looking for. That said, I should probably take a look at some of Forsyth's books.

Forsyth's The Dogs of War is about a mining company's trying to use a small group of mercenaries to take control of a small African country via a coup d'etat. Forsyth was a reporter on the Biafran War, initially for the BBC and then freelance, and the novel is set within that context, as well as the larger context of the Cold War and the manipulation of Third World clients.
