Reviews
'Fighting Monsters makes an important and provocative contribution, by encouraging us to revisit our understanding of the nature of law and its role in combating barbarism." -- Philippe Sands QC, Professor of Law, University College London, Author of Lawless World and Torture Team
An exceptional piece of work...deep, broad, rich, original, compelling, and much more. -- Martin Scheinin, UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism, Professor of Public International Law, European University Institute
The author presents a multi-thematic approach to the question of how to counter post 9-11 terrorism by developing a variety of original reflections and perspectives on the inadequacy of law in addressing the barbarity of terrorism as well as the degenerative effects of the response to it. The result is a relentless indictment of the legal response to terrorism, especially by the two leading countries in the enterprise, the United States and the United Kingdom. -- Professor Francesco Francioni, Professor of International Law, European University Institute
The intellectual energy and pugnacious style of the text make for a tour de force. -- Philip Allott, Emeritus Professor of Public International Law, Trinity College, Cambridge
