`This book about the coexistence of mass atrocities with the norm
of civilian immunity from the nineteenth century to our time, and
their evolution and mutual influence, is his [Alex J. Bellamy] best
work yet. Rarely has such a painful and sensitive subject been
investigated so seriously, thoroughly, clearly and impartially'
