"The book is skillfully written, providing a very well-elaborated and detailed analysis of the important issues involved. Kearney thus adds a valuable contribution to the existing knowledge on propaganda for war in international law: not only has he assembled a great deal of information about different aspects of the topic, he also lays bare some important recurring themes throughout the book...Kearney's book is definitely to be recommended to anyone with an interest in international law on freedom of expression" - Marloes Van Noorloos, Utrecht University, The Netherlands, Netherlands Quarterly of Human Rights 28.2
