US Senator Patrick Leahy (D - VT) has this to say about Ken Rutherford's new book, Humanitarianism Under Fire: "Ken uses the US intervention in Somalia to illustrate what has since been magnified in Iraq: Foreign intervention by our country or by the UN, whether humanitarian or military and regardless of how well-intended, is unlikely to succeed without a through knowledge of the country and culture, realistic and clearly defined goals, adequate resources, and careful planning and coordination. As one who believes that such intervention is often justified on moral as well as foreign policy grounds, I applaud Ken for presenting the lessons of Somalia in such a thoughtful way."

A review of Dissent from War:

"When it comes to the study of war, Robert Ivie is a trailblazer. Rhetorical scholars who strive to understand better how our leaders justify war to citizens, and how citizens in turn justify war to themselves, start with Ivie's work--or at the very least soon find their way back to it." -- Quarterly Journal of Speech
