Reviews

'Cryer and Henderson have assembled a superb collection of articles on the use of force and the law of armed conflict, one that intelligently and comprehensively explores all sides of the numerous controversies that characterise both areas of international law. Given the deluge of writing they had to choose from, that is a remarkable feat. Any international lawyer will want a copy of this collection in their university library and on their bookshelf.' -- Kevin Jon Heller, SOAS University of London, UK
