The law of war: A documentary history-volume I

---

*Fyi: The title of this book is beside

The publication of these volumes is especially timely, in view of the pervasive and deepening concern aroused by military excesses and atrocities in recent years. In the United States, attention has naturally been concentrated on the fighting in Indochina. But the mere mention of Indonesia, Biafra, and East Pakistan is enough of a reminder that war crimes are not generated primarily by the national or racial attributes of Germans, Japanese, or Americans, but are a mark of the human condition.

Because of the deep and enduring impact of the Nuremberg trials that followed the Second World War, there is a prevalent public impression that the laws of war date only from that time. The table of contents alone is sufficient to dispel that misunderstanding, and the discussion and materials in Part I will surely convey an awareness of the antiquity and profundity of mankind's preoccupation with the prevention of warfare and the mitigation of its ravages. It is a history in which St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and other Church fathers are the most prominent thinkers and recorders until the time of Grotius, whose writings are both a culmination of what had gone before and a foundation for the future.
