Acknowledgements
Very special thanks are due to the group of experts listed below who generously agreed to share their knowledge and perspectives on the challenges faced by the service and civilian justice systems, based on firsthand experience. I am also enormously grateful to David Benest, Alan Brecknell, Refik Hodzic, Paul O’Connor, and Paul Seils. During the research phase, Iain Cobain, Simon Fowler, Niall Murphy and the staffs of the Imperial War Museum, the National Archive and Liddell Hart Library provided invaluable orientation on sources. Palgrave Macmillan provided generous guidance throughout the process and their anonymous academic reviewer’s comments on the original proposal and final draft were very helpful. Hugh Jackson’s meticulous editing and proofreading vastly improved the text. Any remaining errors are of course my own. I am greatly indebted to colleagues, clients and witnesses over the years from whom I have learned and continue to learn. Finally, thanks to my husband, Paul Seils, for his constant support, enthusiasm and insights into armed conflict, human rights and peace building. Unless attributed to others, opinions and recommendatio
