Reviews
Advance praise: 'The Ethics of Insurgency brings conceptual clarity to a vexed area of military ethics: the ethical permissibility of tactic used by weaker military forces against much stronger, usually state, militaries. It is a provocative and comprehensive exploration of a very complex issue. A valuable contribution to just war scholarship.' Martin L. Cook, Stockdale Chair of Professional Military Ethics, United States Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island
'The Ethics of Insurgency brings conceptual clarity to a vexed area of military ethics: the ethical permissibility of tactic used by weaker military forces against much stronger, usually state, militaries. It is a provocative and comprehensive exploration of a very complex issue. A valuable contribution to just war scholarship.' Martin L. Cook, Stockdale Chair of Professional Military Ethics, United States Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island 'Although in recent years several books concerned with international law, ethics, and contemporary conflicts marginally addressed the issue of 'just' guerrilla warfare, this is without any doubt the first exhaustive academic discussion of the topic. ... It will definitely be of great interest not only to academics and international organizations' officers but particularly to all those, military and civilian, who in their professional capacity are called to take decisions on the battlefield influenced by the perception of the 'justness' of a certain way of conducting guerrilla warfare.'
