'War as Experience is an academically inspiring book and a strong contribution to the field. It inspires new critical thinking on conventional IR theories and motivates innovative research on peacebuilding, geopolitics, masquerades of war and neocolonialism. It is a much needed, well-written and interesting account of new literature and thinking in IR and war studies. It brings to the surface body-based politics as a challenging corrective to traditional neoliberalist theories of war.' Joshja Wessels, Peacebuilding, May 2013
