Reviews

'This is an important book. As well as evaluating the illegality of the use of drones in Pakistan, Shah highlights the dangers of facilitating military intervention without consequences, whilst also bringing to the forefront the forgotten voices in this debate, the victims - whose voices have only recently been heard through improved political interest and strategic litigation.' Clive Stafford Smith OBE, founder and Director of Reprieve. 'Shah has made a timely contribution to the debate on drones and international law, which is novel in its critical perspective but, more so, in its desire to highlight drones not simply as a question touching pure doctrinal law, but one with deep human, political and social implications. It is in that area that the strengths of the book lie. I would recommend this book to international lawyers dealing with armed conflict gen-erally but also to critical and Third World Approaches to International Law scholars grappling with questions of international governance and power.' Max Byrne, University of Reading School of Law, Journal of Conflict and Security Law
