"War and War Crimes traces the evolution of international humanitarian law and the laws of war and also discusses the practical problems arising for military practitioners. It should be compulsory reading for any student of conflict whether in international relations, law or sociology, yet also for any responsible military officer and, just as important, for the politicians making the decisions." --Beatrice Heuser, University of Reading, author of The Evolution of Strategy: Thinking War from Antiquity to the Present.
