"A controversial intervention into the ongoing political and legal argument about whether and how to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed and his co-conspirators for their role in the 9/11 attack... Shawcross (The Queen Mother: The Official Biography, 2009, etc.) scenarios.""Publishers Weekly"October 3, 2011"Shawcross explores what form of justice the al-Qaeda defendants should receive, the pros and cons of military versus federal courts, the admissibility of evidence gained under the CIA's 'enhanced interrogation techniques, ' and the differing policies of the Bush and Obama administrations regarding 'unlawful combatants, ' the Geneva Conventions, Guantanamo, and justice.... This thoughtful, passionately right-wing study underscores the thorny difficulties the U.S. has faced in bringing the September 11 attackers to court."
Hoover Institution's Defining Ideas Blog, October 28, 2011
"[Shawcross] has written the best book yet on the dilemmas Western governments face in dealing with Islamic terrorists...Shawcross writes carefully, without bluster and exaggeration, and the effect is a damning indictment of much of the popular rhetoric of the decade after 9/11 that insisted we had no legal or moral right to deal with al Qaeda kingpins as we had in the past with other such terrorists and criminals."

Shawcross (The Queen Mother: The Official Biography, 2009, etc.) takes a no-holds-barred approach to the issues involved in putting the alleged perpetrators of 9/11 on trial for their crimes...

"Shawcross here addresses the timely and thorny question of how best to prosecute international terrorists... Those seeking a more policy-focused review of recent developments should start with this work."
The Spectator
"Thoughtful, challenging and deeply depressing... [Shawcross] argues a compelling case... This book is lucidly argued, well informed and exceptionally well written"
The Guardian
"Shawcross is a voice worth listening to in today's tongue-biting culture because he is not frightened to call things by their proper names... Readers who rely on the liberal media for their opinions should seek out a copy of Justice and the Enemy. Opinions that are never tested are mere prejudices, and Shawcross presents a sober account of debates you are unlikely to hear."
