'Twenty years after 9/11 this book is a must-read for those interested in the effects of sustained counter-terrorism practice on international law, international institutions and the rule of law. de Londras gives us a sophisticated account of the inner workings of global counter-terrorism practice revealing its rule of law and institutional deficiencies. She provides a searing account of the human rights failures of the past two decades and the costs for both security and rights that have followed.'
