"Blue on Blue, Fratricide, Friendly Fire is a persistent and
unwelcome feature in war, and has been throughout the history of
warfare. In the distractions and confusion of battle, it seems
inevitable that on occasions military forces will go on attacking
those whom they should not attack. There are three main themes in
the book. The first explores the nature and common origins of
fratricide, the second the part played by humans in fratricide
incidents and the third looks ahead in addressing ways of tackling
the problem. Each essay has been commissioned specifically for this
work from an international group of experts in the field.
Considered together the book provides a cohesive understanding of
fratricide in its historical context and offers important lessons
to future generations. One of the strong themes from these lessons
is that fratricide is very largely a human issue, and therefore all
attempts to reduce it must consider the human being at the heart of
the system as a very high priority. "
