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.
