Law and war

Description:

"During the twentieth century, the United States attempted to redefine war crimes to include acts previously considered beyond the realm of objective judgment, and to determine appropriate punishments. This movement to replace blind vengeance with law culminated with the Nuremberg trials, one of the great historical dramas of modern times."--BOOK JACKET.
