Recenzii
In the granular attention to operational realities that "Underground Warfare" provides, and in its use of analogies from other methods of warfare, Richemond-Barak's book provides a model for analyses of other military methods that have not so far received detailed assessments under the laws of armed conflict.
Although studies of the law governing domains of conflict âmaritime, air, cyber, and spaceâ have become de rigueur, underground warfare, a central battlespace for centuries, has been ignored. Daphné Richemond-Barak remedies that shortfall in this incisive, sophisticated, and comprehensive examination of subterranean operations and the law. A 'must read' for academics and practitioners alike.
Our adversaries today are taking a lesson from bygone eras by fighting us from the subterranean domain, thus trying to reduce our technological edge. We must be prepared and ready to meet this challenge.
An eye-opening examination of the remarkably under-examined role of tunnels in modern warfare. Daphné Richemond-Barak's Underground Warfare is a path-breaking study that lays out the complex challenges tunnels pose in peace time as well as in war. Richemond-Barak compellingly argues for long-term strategies and legal parameters to address the growing threat of underground warfare. Engagingly told, this is a must-read for anyone thinking about today's unique security challenges.
In the modern era of asymmetric warfare waged by terrorists and other non-state fighters against more powerful states, Daphné Richemond-Barak reminds us that underground warfare is an import and and relatively unregulated component of modern battles. Underground Warfare is an important and ground-breaking book that provides a framework for scholars and practitioners thinking about rules for governing the use of underground warfare in battle. Richemond-Barak offers lucid analysis, succinct historical references, and a clear set of prescriptions for policymakers. Underground Warfare is sure to have a meaningful impact on evolving law of war debates.
