Philip Bobbitt je uznávaný americký autor a akademik, ktorý sa preslávil svojimi dielami o vojenskej stratégii a ústavnom práve. Jeho práce sa hlboko ponárajú do povahy ústavnej teórie a toho, ako sa mení v priebehu času. Bobbitt skúma zložité vzťahy medzi vojnou, mierom a trajektóriou histórie, ponúka prenikavý pohľad na sily, ktoré formujú medzinárodné vzťahy a politickú stabilitu. Jeho analýzy ponúkajú čitateľom hlbšie pochopenie dynamiky moci a správy v modernom svete.

Terror and Consent argues that, like so many states and civilizations in the past that suffered defeat, we are fighting the last war, with weapons and concepts that were useful to us then but have now been superseded. Philip Bobbitt argues that we need to reforge links that previous societies have made between law and strategy; to realize how the evolution of modern states has now produced a globally networked terrorism that will change as fast as we can identify it; to combine humanitarian interests with strategies of intervention; and, above all, to rethink what 'victory' in such a war, if it is a war, might look like.
