Targeting Terrorists: A License to Kill? examines the political history and ethics of targeted killing. Avery Plaw »s analysis addresses the questions of moral, political and legal justification in the context of the current »war on terror » and of legitimate/illegitimate forms of counter-terrorism more generally. Given the increasing number of terrorist targetings conducted around the world today and the virtual absence of a sustained public and scholarly debate over the practice, this study makes a crucial contribution to the examination of an increasingly important and troubling subject. Incorporating insights and arguments from a range of disciplines and approaches, and offering an excellent balance between theory and case studies, this book is highly relevant for courses on ethics, politics, international relations and international law.
