Making Endless War is built on the premise that any attempt to
understand how the content and function of the laws of war changed
in the second half of the twentieth century should consider two
major armed conflicts, fought on opposite edges of Asia, and the
legal pathways that link them together across time and space. The
Vietnam and Arab-Israeli conflicts have been particularly
significant in the shaping and attempted remaking of international
law from 1945 right through to the present day. This carefully
curated collection of essays by lawyers, historians, philosophers,
sociologists, and political geographers of war explores the
significance of these two conflicts, including their impact on the
politics and culture of the world’s most powerful nation, the
United States of America. The volume foregrounds attempts to
develop legal rationales for the continued waging of war after 1945
by moving beyond explaining the end of war as a legal institution,
and toward understanding the attempted institutionalization of
endless war.
