Recenzje

Brunstetter makes a strong case for the distinctiveness of limited force compared with law enforcement and war. His presentation of a systematic account is an exciting and valuable contribution to the literature on the ethics of war and violence. Richly illustrated with examples from recent cases, it will be essential reading for anyone working in the wider field of the ethics of armed conflict but especially those who are interested in smaller-scale uses of force by states.
