These essays are interdisciplinary in their approach, and give various sides of arguments on this rich subject." She concluded, "An excellent introduction by Andrew Altman provides an overview of 'Our Asymmetric World' and models used to combat terrorism. References, tables of cases and legal instruments are included making this an excellent reference for further research." Abraham David Sofaer reviewed the book for the "Texas Law Review". Sofaer wrote, "It is a beautiful book: large, with print size that is easy on the eyes, and with sufficient space between lines of text to make the complex material at least visually digestible. It has useful tables of cases, instruments, legislation, and abbreviations, as well as an index." He commented, "it should be clear that a reader seeking a single, nonredundant and objective account of targeted killing should find another book. On the other hand, this collection of essays provides several original and useful treatments of various aspects of the subject." Sofaer said that the book could have given more weight to the law enforcement model of how and when to use deadly force against individuals. The collection also received a review from University of Geneva postdoctoral research fellow in the faculty of law, Steven J. Barela, in the "Journal of International Criminal Justice". Barela described the book as "a constructive work with a wide purview onto one of the most pressing and difficult policy questions of our time". He stated, "this volume provides a valuable entry point for investigating this kaleidoscope of legal and moral issues". Steven R. Ratner of the University of Michigan Law School reviewed the book for the "American Journal of International Law", writing, "In light of the complexity of the legal and moral issues, "Targeted Killings" is a welcome addition to the academic literature. It aims to combine in one volume perspectives from legal experts, moral philosophers, and military planners." University of Reading law lecturer Robert P. Barnidge, Jr. wrote in the "Boston University International Law Journal", ""Targeted Killings" also provides some clarity as to the threshold between armed conflict and situations falling short of armed conflict". He concluded, "[the book's] main contribution to the discussion lies in its focus on the willing use of violence on a significant scale by an organized group".
