Description

This updated and revised second edition of Donald A. Wells's popular War Crimes and Laws of War, originally published in 1984, traces the rules of war since ancient times. The major sources of the rules or "laws" of war are explored: the congresses of the Hague, Geneva, and the United Nations. But an abyss exists between what military manuals allow and what the congresses prohibit; this book attempts to resolve this dilemma. An important text for military college courses and international relations, as well as social philosophy courses. Co-published with the North American Society for Social Philosophy.

Author

Donald A. Wells

...the author is correct in his assertion that the fault in breaches in morality on the national level lie more with governments than with military establishments.

Naval War College Review
...a strikingly lucid and forthright book....The documentation is brilliant and the organization of material exemplary, and in my view the ethical insight is profound and moving without being impassioned.

Warren Steinkraus, SUNY, Oswego, Naval War College Review
...this book is informative and, at times, thought-provoking. It is especially helpful for philosophers who want an introduction to the jurists, congresses, and manuals.
