ConclusionReviewsFocusing on the issue of foreseeable systemic collateral damage that most Just War theorists neglect, Crawford combines organization theory and moral theory to develop a perceptive and promising account of military organizations as imperfect moral agents. * Henry Shue, Senior Research Fellow, Centre for International Studies, University of Oxford; and Fellow Emeritus, Merton College, Oxford * Focusing on the issue of foreseeable systemic collateral damage that most Just War theorists neglect, Crawford combines organization theory and moral theory to develop a perceptive and promising account of military organizations as imperfect moral agents. --Henry Shue, Senior Research Fellow, Centre for International Studies, University of Oxford; and Fellow Emeritus, Merton College, Oxford Starting with the post 9/11 wars, Neta Crawford's book takes seriously this question: who bears responsibility for civilian casualties in war? After copious research and thoughtful engagement, she offers both a new way to conceive of moral responsibilities for civilian casualties and practical suggestions for engaging citizens and the military in these broader responsibilities. --Joan C. Tronto, Professor and Chair, Department of Political Science, University of Minnesota In a magnificent new and uncannily timely work, Professor Crawford has skillfully, as she puts it, 'pushed the boundaries of theorizing about moral responsibility in war.' Her work is fresh, well-researched, and readable. Most importantly, it is engagingly provocative and is sure to generate thoughtful discussion. A 'must have' for any serious scholar, soldier, or policymaker. --Charles J. Dunlap, Jr., Major General, USAF (Ret.)Executive Director, Center on Law, Ethics and National Security and Professor of the Practice of Law, Duke University School of Law Crawford's deeply reasoned and carefully researched book is an essential read for anyone grappling with how to enhance moral and political responsibility for civilian killing in modern war. --Kathryn Sikkink, McKnight Presidential Chair in Political Science, University of Minnesota Author InformationNeta C.
