From the rear cover

"In this amazing book, Neve Gordon and Nicola Perugini excavate the forms of human shielding, including as a pacifist tactic, in a diverse range of locales around the world and over a century and a half. With its insights into the politics of who counts as human, Human Shields is one of the most important interventions ever in the critical history of the laws of war."--Samuel Moyn, author of Not Enough: Human Rights in an Unequal World

"Compellingly important and thoroughly absorbing, this very readable book will fast become the standard reference in our understanding of human shields."--Laleh Khalili, author of Sinews of War and Trade: Shipping and Capitalism in the Arabian Peninsula
