Reviews

'Through the range of perspectives, this book provides lawyers with an important introduction to social science concepts and highlights how understanding the linguistic and cultural context is axiomatic for effective investigation and prosecution of hate speech and propaganda. The edited volume provides a full picture of the war crimes process from investigation, expert testimony to judgment, and is a welcome contribution to the field given the central role propaganda plays in many war crimes trials.' - Keina Yoshida, London School of Economics, UK for Journal of International Criminal Justice (2013)
