N2  - Critically examines how military law addresses the question of 'due obediance'; is a soldier who has obeyed illegal orders personally liable? Most cases which result in litigation involve traditional atrocities. The author seeks to 'civilianize' military law while building on soldiers' own virtuousness. He rehabilitates the ancient ideal of martial honour, reinterpreting it in light of new conditions and implementing it through realistic training in which legal counsel plays an enlarged role
