Beskrivning
The United States Department of Defense Law of War Manual: Commentary and Critique provides an irreplaceable resource for any politician, international expert, or military practitioner who wishes to understand the approach taken by the American military in the complex range of modern conflicts. Readers will understand the strengths and weaknesses of US legal and policy pronouncements and the reasons behind the modern American way of war, whether US forces deploy alone or in coalitions. This book provides unprecedented and precise analysis of the US approach to the most pressing problems in modern wars, including controversies surrounding use of human shields, fighting in urban areas, the use of cyberwar and modern weaponry, expanding understanding of human rights, and the rise of ISIS. This group of authors, including academics and military practitioners, provides a wealth of expertise that demystifies overlapping threads of law and policy amidst the world's seemingly intractable conflicts.

Recensioner i media

'The United States Department of Defense Law of War Manual: Commentary and Critique is essential reading for students, scholars and practitioners alike, whether they view themselves as on the left or the right, and whether they consider themselves supporters or critics of US military law and policy. Deftly compiled and introduced by editor Michael A. Newton, the essays in this book, all by top international and military law scholars, collectively form an essential companion to the Law of War Manual itself, highlighting both the Manual's strengths and the inevitable gaps, flaws and ambiguities that remain in any undertaking of this scale.' Rosa Brooks, Georgetown University Law Center and the Modern War Institute, West Point
