A History of People in the Line of Fire, Updated with a New Preface and Epilogue
Description
An invaluable tool for courses on conflict and human rights.--Choice A startling new take on the history of war, morality, and law.--Humanity A timely and brilliant consideration. This work rethinks all of our fundamental categories in the service of a more powerful critique of military violence.--Judith Butler, author of The Force of Nonviolence: An Ethico-Political Bind In this amazing book, Neve Gordon and Nicola Perugini excavate the forms of human shielding, including as a pacifist tactic, in a diverse range of locales around the world and over a century and a half. With its insights into the politics of who counts as human, Human Shields is one of the most important interventions ever in the critical history of the laws of war.--Samuel Moyn, author of Not Enough: Human Rights in an Unequal World Compellingly important and thoroughly absorbing, this very readable book will fast become the standard reference in our understanding of human shields.--Laleh Khalili, author of Sinews of War and Trade: Shipping and Capitalism in the Arabian Peninsula Sheds light on how the belligerent power perceives civilians and decides their fate. A groundbreaking work that helps to humanize the thinking of our time.--Francesca Albanese, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories
