Originally published in 1999, this A-to-Z guidebook of wartime
atrocities has received worldwide acclaim and has been translated
into eleven languages. Now substantially updated, with sixteen new
entries, this concise guide to the broken rules of war remains
unique and essential. More than 140 distinguished experts from the
media, military, law, and human rights groups examine recent
conflicts in light of international humanitarian law, including:
Afghanistan (Patricia Gossman), the Congo (Gerard Prunier),
terrorism (Anthony Dworkin), Guant?namo (Mark Huband), Darfur
(John Prendergast and Colin Thomas-Jensen), occupation (George
Packer), independent contractors (Peter Singer), war and insurgency
(John Burns), and detention and interrogation (Dana Priest).
Christiane Amanpour writes on Bosnian paramilitaries, Jeremy Bowen
on Chechnya, and Gwynne Roberts on Saddam Hussein. Through case
studies, definitions of key terms, and explanations of what is
legal and what is not -- illuminated by stunning photographs --
Crimes of War reveals what every citizen should know about war and
the law.
