Reviews

With insightful case studies of conflicts ranging from East Timor and Afghanistan to Sudan and Colombia, and thoughtful considerations of issues such as the responsibility of humanitarian aid workers in war crimes trials and the growing tension between Islamic, Christian and secular humanitarian NGO's, In the Shadow of 'Just Wars' is a significant and sobering work that should be engaged by humanitarians, politicians, and responsible global citizens alike. -Patrick LaRochelle, Virginia Quarterly Review, vol. 81, no. 1, Winter 2005
