“This is an illuminating collection that challenges us to take seriously who legal arguments speak to and how. This book brims with doctrinal and historical sophistication and shows just how central Vietnam and Palestine were, and are, to the conceptual battles of the law of war.”

“Contestation over international law rages in our day, and juxtaposing its relevance in two pivotal conflicts is an inspired way to illuminate how law is transforming politics and vice versa. This collection deserves to be widely read across multiple fields.”

"Making Endless War provides a powerful statement on how episodes of violence, however specific they might appear, cannot be understood independent of greater forces – including (and perhaps especially) the principles and institutions that present their mission as an effort to constrain armed conflict. As such, Cuddy and Kattan’s collection can be viewed as a major innovation in building a greater genealogy of global violence."

"Making Endless War presents a study of actors, actions, and legal argument, at the same time the kaleidoscope afforded by the use of a case study model, that is sometimes comparative, but also a walk through the archives, a legal analysis, and a dialogue with non-western knowledge and frames of understanding, is rich in the cross and interdisciplinary insights garnered. In this way, the book offers a careful accounts of the two conflicts: illuminating their differences and, through the various comparative chapters, provides significant new understandings."
