"While it is difficult to do justice in a short review to a book that covers so many interlocking themes, it can safely be concluded that it makes an important contribution to this topical issue. Not pretending to be an academically-orientated work, it reflects the problems and processes experienced at the coalface of peace processes, and will for this reason be of value to a wide audience of both academics and practitioners. While the English expression holds that one should not judge a book on its cover, the importance of attractive presentation cannot be denied, and the publishers should be congratulated with its striking cover design and neat presentation."André Stemmet, Netherlands International Law Review (2019) 66:179–183
