| Sumario: | Introduction -- The roots of the law of war in world history -- The law of war in pre-Columbian America -- Conclusion. "The greatly expanded and enhanced 2nd edition of A World History of War Crimes provides an authoritative and accessible global history of war crimes and the laws of war. Tracing human efforts to limit warfare, from codes of war in antiquity designed to maintain a religiously conceived cosmic order to the gradual use in the modern age of the criminal trial as a means of enforcing universal humanitarian norms, Michael Bryant's book is a masterful account of the subject. Five brand new chapters are included that reinforce the geographical, chronological, historiographical and conceptual dimensions of the book"-- |
