Why is it important?
This review is important because the book is a valuable new addition to current debate on military justice and military discipline around the world. The comprehensive nature of the book makes it long however and this review provides a shorter, easier way into the debates which the book raises.
Perspectives
Military justice and discipline should be about ensuring control of the most powerful part of the state while at the same time affording fairness to those subject to it. There are widely varying approaches to this, some of which work better than others, some more civilian in character and some more command driven, while some do not really work well at all. Given that there is no one way to approach military justice and discipline, but also given that there are common tensions in every system, it is valuable to see how different societies have approached it
