Reviews

'Dr Maogoto examines a matter of complexity but writes with the assurance of a person in command of his subject and with a lightness of touch and lively turn of phrase that makes the book very readable. Being well documented and full of historical illustrations, the book will be welcomed by students of both law and international relations as an insight into the law, its shortcomings and practical implementation.' A.P.V. Rogers, University of Cambridge, UK 'This book successfully outlines and explains the challenges facing the international community, the role international law has played past and present, and the future of counter-terrorism.' Justice Journal 'Maogoto demonstrates an understanding of the complexities of modern terrorism and the legal and social confusion to which it gives rise.' Cambrian Law Review
