==History==
''Soldier of Fortune'' magazine was founded in 1975, by Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army Reserve, (Ret.) Robert K. Brown, a Green Beret who served with Special Forces in Vietnam.〔(''Robert K. Brown'' ), Biography, National Rifle Association〕 After retiring from active duty, Brown began publishing a “circular” few-page-magazine with information on mercenary employment in Oman, where the Sultan Qaboos had recently deposed his father, and was battling a communist insurgency. Brown's small circular soon evolved into a glossy, large-format, full color magazine. Significant to the early development of ''SOF'' magazine was its unprecedented, successful recruitment of foreign nationals to serve in the Rhodesian Security Forces, during the Rhodesian Bush War (1964–79).〔Ward Churchill, "U.S. Mercenaries in Southern Africa: The Recruiting Network and U.S. Policy", ''Africa Today'', Vol. 27, No. 2, External Intervention in Africa (2nd Qtr., 1980), pp. 21–46〕〔James L. Taulbee, "Soldiers of fortune: A legal leash for the dogs of war?", ''Defense & Security Analysis'', 1475-1801, Volume 1, Issue 3, 1985, Pages 187–203〕 During the late 1970s and the 1980s, the success and popularity of a military magazine such as ''SOF'' led to the proliferation of like magazines such as ''Survive'', ''Gung Ho!'', ''New Breed'', ''Eagle'', ''Combat Illustrated'', ''Special Weapons and Tactics'', and ''Combat Ready''.
