" - an excellent collection - that fills a massive lacuna in the literature. This is the first edited collection on the NMT trials, and there have been very few articles and chapters dedicated to the trials written by scholars, as opposed to participants in the trials themselves." * Kevin Jon Heller, Melbourne Law School " - a timely and important book - The editors have chosen contributors who are real experts in the field - it is a rarity to see a volume that includes scholars from both sides of the Atlantic; I cannot stress enough the value of this kind of cross fertilization, both for students and other scholars. It is refreshing to see such a fruitful collaboration between European and North American scholars." * Rebecca Wittmann, University of Toronto
