Killing on Command The Defence of Superior Orders in Modern Combat

“The book makes a valuable contribution to the extant scholarly literature in that it provides a critical assessment of the overall role of the state in the occurrence of war crimes. … provides a framework by which to examine how to prevent or curtail the commission of these crimes in the first place. For all of these reasons, many will find reading this book both thought-provoking and worthwhile.” (Richard Ehui, Medicine, Conflict and Survival, Vol. 32 (4), February, 2017)
