In his new book, The War Lawyers, Craig Jones challenges the conventional narrative and demonstrates how the inhumanity regularly on display in war is, in fact, often a byproduct of the law itself. * Maryam Jamshidi, University of Florida, Levin College of Law, Voelkerrechtsblog * Jones' account of the evolution of the 'kill chain' lawyer makes both fascinating and sobering reading. * Nicholas Goodman, The Law Society Gazette * The War Lawyers is an impressive piece of work. Jones has produced a magnificent book, which is not only an absolute pleasure to read but makes an invaluable contribution to debates about military law. Although previous studies have pointed to the ways in which the law might enable rather than restrain the violence inflicted on the battlefield, nobody has been able to document this relationship in such a thorough and incisive manner. Jones provides us with a book that is not only rich with empirical detail but equips us with the theoretical tools needed to interrogate how contemporary practices of violence are legitimised despite the enormous death and destruction left in their wake. * Thomas Gregory, Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations, University of Auckland, Security Dialogue *
