"The Commander's Dilemma is a must-read book that makes a novel contribution to the literature of civilian victimization during civil war. Focusing on repertoires of armed group violence, Hoover Green focuses on the links between political education and practices of both violence and restraint. Beyond the fact that the analysis and findings are compelling, Hoover Green also provides a model for how an author can engage in ethical and personal reflections while presenting a coherent and well-defended argument. I highly recommend it." —Erica Chenoweth, Harvard University
