Rezension zu „Liberal Democracies at War: Conflict and Representation “
This is an exciting and thought-provoking work. It provides examples from a range of cases from the First World war to the War on Terror, with detailed analysis of specific incidents and a generous portfolio of illustrations. Michael Kelly, Southampton University, UK This is a disturbing and important collection of essays. It shows how the waging of war over the past century has distorted or destroyed the conditions that make liberal democracy possible. Essential reading for anyone interested in the corrosive and enduring effects of war. -- Jay Winter, Charles J. Stille Professor of History, Yale University, USA 20130730 One of the great puzzles of the past century is how liberal states can justify the way they wage war or counter-insurgency while paying lip service to democratic principles and the rule of international law. This volume succeeds admirably in showing just how morally complex or morally compromised liberal war-making can be. This is an excellent introduction to a question of perennial significance. -- Richard Overy, Professor of History, University of Exeter, UK 20130730
