Develops a major new theory of modern warfare, based around the idea that risks in modern war are placed on civilians rather than the military.
Written by a leading sociologist of war, the book includes analyses of recent conflicts such as the two Iraq wars, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Kosovo and the Falklands.
Combines analytical chapters which are accessible to less advanced students and the general reader with theoretical arguments which will be of great interest to advanced students and scholars.
Offers a highly topical discussion of how Western, terrorist and other ways of war respond to common political, media and legal conditions.
