Daphné Richemond-Barak is Assistant Professor at the Lauder School
of Government, Diplomacy, and Strategy, and Senior Researcher and
Head of the International Law Desk at the International Institute
for Counter-Terrorism at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC)
Herzliya. She is a renowned and prolific expert on public
international law and international humanitarian law specializing
in the law of armed conflict. She has written extensively on
contemporary issues such as counterinsurgency law, human
rights/humanitarian law convergence, non-state actors in armed
conflict, private security military contractors, transnational
terrorist groups, and intelligent defense
systems.
"In the granular attention to operational realities that
"Underground Warfare" provides, and in its use of analogies from
other methods of warfare, Richemond-Barak's book provides a model
for analyses of other military methods that have not so far
received detailed assessments under the laws of armed conflict." --
Jonathan Cedarbaum, Lawfare Blog
"Although studies of the law governing domains of conflict
-maritime, air, cyber, and space- have become de rigueur,
underground warfare, a central battlespace for centuries, has been
ignored. Daphné Richemond-Barak remedies that shortfall in this
incisive, sophisticated, and comprehensive examination of
subterranean operations and the law. A 'must read' for academics
and practitioners alike."- Michael Schmitt, Charles H. Stockton
Professor,
United States Naval War College
"Our adversaries today are taking a lesson from bygone eras by
fighting us from the subterranean domain, thus trying to reduce our
technological edge. We must be prepared and ready to meet this
challenge."- R.F. Natonski, LtGen, United States Marine Corps
(Ret)
"An eye-opening examination of the remarkably under-examined role
of tunnels in modern warfare. Daphné Richemond-Barak's Underground
Warfare is a path-breaking study that lays out the complex
challenges tunnels pose in peace time as well as in war.
Richemond-Barak compellingly argues for long-term strategies and
legal parameters to address the growing threat of underground
warfare. Engagingly told, this is a must-read for anyone thinking
about
today's unique security challenges."- Karen J. Greenberg, Director,
Center on National Security at Fordham Law and author of Rogue
Justice
"In the modern era of asymmetric warfare waged by terrorists and
other non-state fighters against more powerful states, Daphné
Richemond-Barak reminds us that underground warfare is an import
and and relatively unregulated component of modern battles.
Underground Warfare is an important and ground-breaking book that
provides a framework for scholars and practitioners thinking about
rules for governing the use of underground warfare in battle.
Richemond-Barak offers lucid analysis, succinct historical
references, and a clear set of prescriptions for policymakers.
Underground Warfare is sure to have a meaningful impact on evolving
law of war debates."- William
C. Banks, Director, Institute for National Security and
Counterterrorism (INSCT), and Board of Advisors Distinguished
Professor, Syracuse University
