Reviews

<br> This book will be a valuable source for lawyers and others lacking a military background interested in the rules for carrying out military operations against transnational terrorists. An especially timely examination of the changing laws of war. <br>--Professor Williams Banks, <br>Syracuse University School of Law <br> Issues of targeting, detention, interrogation, and prosecution are among the most pressing and controversial questions in our politics today. Some say the treatment of these topics in the laws of war must evolve in order to account for the changing face of armed conflict, while others argue that the case for new rules has not been made, and in any event disagreement abounds as to when the laws of war apply at all. Unfortunately, we don't often hear the perspective of military practitioners in this debate. This indispensable volume closes that gap, and is a must-read for experts and novices alike. <br>--Professor Robert M. Chesney, <br>University of Texas Schoo
