Reviews

Fascinating and insightful essays are offered on wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Algeria, Chechnya, and Yugoslavia. Other essays look at Iran s ambivalence on international law, because of Sharia law and Israel s codification of international humanitarian law, and the role of non-government actors (NGOs) in advocating for the Geneva Conventions...The book is richly documented and has a good index. Recommended. - CHOICE
