'The authors are to be congratulated for this timely, thought-provoking, and challenging study of the domestic deployment of armed forces by six of the world's leading democracies, an issue which, as they argue, deserves much greater attention than it has so far received.' Steven Greer, University of Bristol, UK 'This provocative volume demonstrates how the threat of terrorism has eroded the distinction between the military's foreign and domestic functions, increasing the threat of militarization and the danger to democratic governance. The comprehensive treatment - comparative, transnational, and interdisciplinary - demands the attention of national security professionals and political leaders worldwide.' Richard H. Kohn, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA
