Description for Reimagining Child Soldiers in International Law and Policy
Paperback. Child soldiers are generally perceived as faultless, passive victims. This ignores that the roles of child soldiers vary, from innocent abductee to wilful perpetrator.

Reviews for Reimagining Child Soldiers in International Law and Policy
Mark Drumbls newest book is an excellent contribution to the topical study of child soldiers, a field caught up in debate regarding the responsibility or lack of responsibility that child soldiers may bear for the acts of atrocity of which they are causal agents.
