This collection provides an effective account of the issue, notably in its historical context and as an aspect of risk management. Moreover, there are acute comments about the tactical dimensions involved and the processes of decision-making … This is an important collection about a dimension of conflict that is generally ignored in the literature but that increasingly receives public attention.
