Looking back, we could have done much better had this book existed. As some flawed policies are being reshaped, Antonia Chayes' extraordinary book should be required reading." Jane Harman, former Congresswoman, Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (2002 2006), and Director, President and CEO, The Wilson Center"Review Quotes: "War and security issues cross borders of nations and also borders between civilian and military lives and actions, yet neither law nor politics supply guideposts or criteria. Professor Chayes tracks this crucial feature of our age across the challenges and practices of counterinsurgency, counterterrorism and cyber security. This important book exposes missed opportunities for effective collaboration as well as confusion about the competencies and limits of military and nonmilitary resources of government, industry, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals. It also offers a framework for a better future. The result is a work that should be read by leaders and citizens - indeed, by anyone who [cares] about security or democracy." Martha Minow, Dean, Harvard Law School, and author of Between Vengeance and Forgiveness: Facing History After Genocide and Mass ViolenceReview Quotes: "This is a book that deserves the widest distribution and attention in the hands of global leaders. It will make an enormous positive difference in our approach." James Stavridis, former Admiral, US Navy, Supreme Allied Commander of NATO (2009 2013) and Dean, The Fletcher School, Tufts University"Review Quotes: "Drawing on a lifetime of academic erudition and Beltway savvy, Toni Chayes explores the blurring of traditional lines in [the] twenty-first-century war between the civilian and military, real and virtual, counterinsurgency and counterterrorism, and law and politics. Those in the national security arena should heed her call for stronger transparency, role definition, and legal standards." Harold Hongju Koh, Sterling Professor of International Law, Yale University, and Legal Adviser, US Department of State (2009 13)"Review Quotes: "Toni Chayes pulls no punches in her hard-hitting assessment of how the United States grapples with the complex security environment of today. Borderless Wars is a 'must-read' for serious practitioners, students and critics of national security matters." Carter F. Ham, General and former Commander, US Africa Command
