'Comprehensive, updated, synthetic and original, these are, in a nutshell, the dominating qualities of this 3rd edition. The author manages to draw an accurate picture of the Law of War while succeeding in incorporating the basic rules of the jus ad bellum and aspects of the most contemporary issues in international criminal law. Such a book deserves to be in any library worthy of this name.' Eric David, Prof. em., Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium 'This new edition of The Law of War is a significant and updated contribution to the complete analysis on the applicable rules in the case of war. It is clearly structured and provides a comprehensive understanding of the rules that are related to armed conflicts, including new developments in the use of force against non-State actors, the use of certain weapons and international criminal law. Only few books provide such a clear and comprehensive consideration of the legal rules that apply in situations of armed conflict.' Marco Odello, Aberystwyth University, UK 'Ingrid Detter's book, The Law of War, is an extremely useful compendium to have on one's shelf. This third edition represents a very substantial change from the previous two, well in keeping with the breathtaking transformation of the world since those were published: one in 1987 during the Cold War and the other in 2000. ... this book is an astonishingly comprehensive and extremely useful work of reference for lawyers, but also for decision-makers - military and civilian - at all levels, for journals and anybody else considering the laws of war, confronted with real issues in live situations and with the question of which laws apply to them.'

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
