“Violence in Extreme Conditions is a multifaceted book that challenges the conventional understandings of military violence and encourages us to engage with the complexities of ethical decision-making in military contexts. … The book will undoubtedly appeal to scholars of military ethics and professionals working within military organizations, offering valuable insights and perspectives for navigating the challenging terrain of violence under extreme conditions.” (Janne L. Punski-Hoogervorst, Medicine, Conflict and Survival, Vol. 40 (2), 2024)
