Description
Book SynopsisCritical account of the international war crimes movement. 'Exciting, original and completely convincing.' Edward Herman
Trade Review'Exciting, original, and completely convincing. This book is essential reading for anybody who wants to understand how the law really works in international affairs, and it throws a great deal of light on those international affairs themselves' -- Edward S. Herman
'This closely reasoned and carefully documented study is sad and grim, and necessary. Unless its lessons are heeded by citizens of the rich and powerful states, the fate of the world will be left to the whim of those with the guns and the faith to enforce their will. The prospects are not attractive' -- Noam Chomsky
