Reviews
'This is a book that makes us think about who we are and what we have become. Harsh but timely and thought-provoking, Warrior's Dishonour deserves a wide readership.' Jay Winter, Yale University USA 'The essays in this skilfully edited collection represent an original set of reflections on what is rapidly becoming the most important issue of our age - barbarity in warfare. Warrior's Dishonour is destined to make a significant mark.' Joanna Bourke, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK 'Recommended.' Choice 'Warrior's Dishonour is one of a handful of books that gets down to the nitty-gritty...To his great credit Kassimeris does not fall into the trap of asserting that the degrading character of war is a product of the 20th century...This is an excellent book...Warrior's Dishonour is a must-read for anyone seriously interested in the nature of war.' Metapsychology 'Taken together, these essays represent a thoughtful set of reflections upon barbarity in contemporary conflict, and in particular an attempt to explain the propensity for barbarity and torture even where it is proscribed and would appear to serve no function, or even to be counterproductive. They should be of interest to those interested in torture, international criminal accountability generally, and debates about the conduct of the global war on terror.' H-Net Reviews
