Book Synopsis
This is the first book to analyse the use of rape as a tactic of war and international progress away from tacit acceptance to active rejection of this violation of international law. Including powerful testimonies of victims, it is a much-needed volume for academic and professional communities.

Trade Review
"Meticulously details the strengths and limitations of international responses to rape in war. Fitzpatrick’s analysis is clear: rape in conflict is not inevitable, but a deliberate strategy to control and dehumanize." Victoria Canning, The Open University
