Description
Book SynopsisThis updated and revised second edition of Donald A. Wells's popular War Crimes and Laws of War, originally published in 1984, traces the rules of war since ancient times.
Trade Review...the author is correct in his assertion that the fault in breaches in morality on the national level lie more with governments than with military establishments. * Naval War College Review *
...a strikingly lucid and forthright book....The documentation is brilliant and the organization of material exemplary, and in my view the ethical insight is profound and moving without being impassioned. -- Warren Steinkraus, SUNY, Oswego * Naval War College Review *
...this book is informative and, at times, thought-provoking. It is especially helpful for philosophers who want an introduction to the jurists, congresses, and manuals. * Journal of Social Philosophy *
