Shane Darcy's new book To Serve the Enemy: Informers, Collaborators, and the Laws of Armed Conflict is an impressive and bold addition to existing legal literature. It is an invaluable injection of fresh scholarship into a complex human and legal issue. The subject of this book laid for a long time at the margins of legal discussions. No more. Darcy's mportant book will bring an understanding of that interesting topic to a broader audience and no doubt contribute to generate more interest for it.
