Marouf A. Hasian

Kafkaesque Laws, Nisour Square, and the Trials of the Former Blackwater Guards

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book uses a Kafkaesque lens to study the public and legal features of the coverage of the Nisour Square shootings of 2007. It illustrates how most American communities were much more interested in regulating private security firms than they were in having legal discussions of potential war crimes.
