Description
Looks both at the current politics in relation to war crimes, but also at the history going back to the mid-19th century and earlier. Including key features such as documents and images, this very much helps readers get a full picture of this complex and disturbing topic.
War Crimes and genocide are much studied, and this is a good, clear introduction to this complex and crowded field.
While there has been an explosion of research on war crimes and the laws of war in recent years, most focus on single areas, the legal dimensions of war crimes and the ore recent past - this book goes beyond all of these and provides a comprehensive and clear introduction with a much longer purview.
