LAW OF WAR

Summary: Considers, from an American perspective, the historical background to the evolving relationship between law and the use of force. Looks at this relationship in a variety of contexts starting with smaller conflicts including Kosovo, Congo, and Panama; this is followed by terrorist attacks and the right to respond to them, then by larger state-on-state conflicts such as Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Subsequent chapters consider U.S. policy on peace operations and the success of NATO as the leadership element in Kosovo 1998. The book concludes with some special areas of legal concern in the 21st century particularly threats against or actual attacks on critical infrastructure such as computer networks.
