Recenzje

Certainly, the breadth and depth of the perspectives the book provides on the military and the law will be a revelation to many of those conducting research - and forming opinions - on this and related topics. International lawyers, academics, policy makers and general readers as well, will find this book of immense value. Phillip Taylor MBE, Richmond Green Chambers
