Once considered nationalists, many insurgent groups are now labeled as terrorists and thought to endanger not just their own people, but the world. As the unprecedented trends in political violence among insurgents have taken shape, and as hundreds of thousands of civilians continue to be displaced, brutalized, and killed, Inside Insurgencyprovides startling insights that help to explain the nature of insurgent behavior. Claire Metelits draws from over 100 interviews with insurgent soldiers, commanders, government officials, scholars, and civilians in Sudan, Kenya, Colombia, Turkey, and Iraq, offering a new understanding of insurgent group behavior and providing compelling and intimate portraits of the SPLA, FARC, and PKK. The engaging narratives that emerge from her on-the-ground fieldwork provide incredibly valuable and accurate first-hand documentation of the tactics of some of the world's most notorious insurgent groups. Inside Insurgencyoffers the reader a timely and intimate understanding of these movements, and explains the changing behavior of insurgent groups toward the civilians they claim to represent.

"Everything you ever wanted to know about the legal status of fathers and children. Whether she's discussing old-fashioned fornication or new-fashioned test-tube babies, Lewis never loses sight of the human beings behind the legal cases." Dena Davis, author of Genetic Dilemmas: Reproductive Technology, Parental Choices, and Children's Futures "Browne Lewis provides a fresh new look at the question of paternity. She compares the law of paternity in cases involving children conceived as a result of passion, or ordinary sexual intercourse, to the law of paternity in cases involving children conceived using the science of artificial insemination or IVF. Lewis' book is a must read for anyone interested in sperm donation, new reproductive technologies, and the law regarding paternity." Cynthia Lee, George Washington University Law School, author of Murder and the Reasonable Man
