''Solidly grounded in inter- and intra-disciplinary scholarship, McGarry and Walklate provide a sophisticated and critical analysis of complex connections between war and criminology. While bringing the study of war closer to the centre of modern criminological enterprise, this book will attract serious attention far beyond it'.'' Ali Wardak, University of South Wales
