Very well-informed and highly intelligent.
*John Keegan, Defence Editor of the Daily Telegraph and author of
The Face of Battle.*
A timely and thought provoking book that every one of us who
attempts to understand the new world disorder ought to learn from.
Here are insights from Iraq to Liberia and beyond from people who
have lived and studied the individual conflicts they discuss.
*Jon Snow, Channel 4 News*
In the field of war studies, usually characterised by mundane
statements and platitudes, this book is at once penetrating and
wide-ranging. Remarkably insightful.
*Peter Worsley, University of Manchester*
This is a powerful and important book, a manual that should be on
the desk of every foreign editor in the land.
