Here are some excerpts from the book:
"Archaeology has the potential to provide a unique and valuable perspective on the human experience of war, both during and after the conflict. By excavating the physical remains of war, archaeologists can uncover evidence of the strategies, tactics, and technologies used by combatants. They can also document the impact of war on the environment and on the lives of civilians." - Sarah Tarlow, University of Leicester
"The archaeology of recent conflict is a challenging but important field of study. By working in conflict zones, archaeologists can help to document the human cost of war and to promote peace and reconciliation." - John Schofield, University of York
