Kenneth Anderson, Opinio Juris
"It is a sad but obvious truth that studies of the ethics of
force have been something of a growth industry since the early
1990s and especially, of course, since 2001. Law, Ethics and the
War on Terror is an excellent addition to this growing body of
work."
Perspectives
"Evangelista's treatment is elegant and broadly thematic,
dealing with foundational issues."
Survival
"Evangelista has produced a beautifully written, cogent and
often surprising analysis of the struggle for the future of
international humanitarian law, and indeed for the rule of law
itself. As he demonstrates, it's a struggle in which the forces of
civil society ironically find their most challenging foe in what
was once their most powerful ally – the United States."
David Cole, Georgetown University
"This meticulous study of a crucial constitutional question,
played out in real time in real life, should underpin all
knowledgeable discussions of just how the Bush administration has
sought to legitimize its lawless behaviour by declaring a state of
perpetual war."
Eric Alterman, author of When Presidents Lie
