Ethics Education for Irregular Warfare

'How we are to prepare soldiers for the ethical challenges of irregular war is a topic of critical importance. The authors in this timely new book do a first-rate job in teasing out the complex and interconnected issues involved, as well as providing practical lessons gleaned from the experience of diverse militaries and training regimes.' David Rodin, Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict, UK 'This fine anthology both reflects and builds upon a series of sophisticated and fruitful conversations that have occurred recently among ethicists at military institutions in several different countries. The editors have assembled an excellent set of essays on non-conventional uses of military personnel, the ambiguous ethical challenges that often emerge in those contexts, and appropriate pedagogical strategies for militaries to employ in tackling such challenges.' David L. Perry, Davidson College, USA and formerly at the US Army War College, USA 'Nowhere is the potential for unethical and illegal actions by armed forces greater than in irregular warfare, however the term is defined. Many reasons for this are canvassed in this collection of essays...This volume is commended as one that will stimulate thinking about how to build on what has already been achieved.'
