‘Counter-Terrorism: The Ethical Issues provides a thorough and systematic introduction into the ethics of counter-terrorism. Drawing on leading experts in the field and aimed at a wider audience, it clarifies the philosophical foundations, covers widely discussed special topics, and expands the debate to so far understudied but nonetheless important legal and moral issues. Combining theoretical and analytical depth with a simultaneous realistic focus on practice, it offers excellent politically relevant scholarship on a pressing issue of our times.’
