Just finished "The White Regiment", by John Dalmas; the second book in the "Regiment" series, and the middle third of the Baen Omnibus "The Regiment: A Trilogy", which I bought in May 2004. Following the success of the T'swa mecenary regiments described in the first book, "The Regiment", the Confederation decides to adopt their training methods to turn a group of misfit rebellious teenagers into an effective fighting force. This book tells the story of "The White T'swa" (the T'swa themselves being extremely black!), and how they fare when a Confederation world is attacked by a military force from another star system.
Excellent military SF. Very highly recommended. Unfortunately no longer available from Baen, and seemingly not available as an ebook anywhere else, either.
