I highly recommend this book to those interested in the Ethics of War (oxymoron?). It's long, but you can pick what appeals you the most; arguments are not too long (10 pages max).

Mostly jus in bello, numerous historic examples.

This is the first time I've heard of it. I'll definitely check it out.

Cadet, it will be good discussion in OCS and when you are a Major in CGSOC Common Core when you get to that rank and yes, it is relevant. I have not read it yet but we have to read short important topics like this and discuss them in class. I may have read an extract from it in class already. I will check it out. Thanks for the post!

There are several books with that title - do you have the author's name?
