Zusatztext This original theoretical and empirical account focuses on the IRA's response to informers. Dudai draws to good effect on a wide historical, political and cultural context, within which he situates his rigorous analysis, but his most important intellectual contribution is to the sociology of punishment. Dudai writes beautifully with clear and elegant prose and his book deserves to be read by audiences in a wide range of fields.
