Review Quotes:
"At a time when alleged moral and legal transgressions by the British Armed Forces are being highlighted in the press and public conscience, this volume explores how and why things can go wrong. It is also an excellent reminder of the many principled people who strive in the most difficult of circumstances to do the right thing." --Professor David Whetham, Director of the Centre for Military Ethics, King's College London, UK
"I readily recommend this book of essays, in memory of David Benest and the moral principles he stood for, to the profession of arms and those who study them and their use. The essays pose many questions - questions that should be considered and answered before and during any endeavour of force of arms and frequently are not.'" --General Sir Rupert Smith KCB DSO OBE QGM
