Reviews

Michael S. Bryant's masterful yet highly accessible genealogy of the concept of war crimes deserves a place of honor of the bookshelf of anyone with a serious interest in our penchant for mass violence, and our all-too-often feeble efforts to place limits on it. A superb read! * Professor of Philosophy, University of New England, USA. *
