In this sweeping, definitive work, leading human rights scholar
David M. Crowe offers an unflinching look at the long and troubled
history of genocide and war crimes. From atrocities in the ancient
world to more recent horrors in Nazi Germany, Cambodia, and Rwanda,
Crowe reveals not only the disturbing consistency they have shown
over time, but also the often heroic efforts that nations and
individuals have made to break seemingly intractable patterns of
violence and retribution--in particular, the struggle to create a
universally accepted body of international humanitarian law. He
traces the emergence of the idea of 'just war, ' early laws of war,
the first Geneva Conventions, the Hague peace conferences, and the
efforts following World Wars I and II to bring to justice those who
violated international law. He also provides incisive accounts of
some of the darkest episodes in recent world history, covering
violations of human rights law in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Cambodia,
Guatemala, the Iran-Iraq war, Korea, Tibet, and many other
contexts. With valuable insights into some of the most vexing
issues of today--including controversial US efforts to bring
alleged terrorists to justice at Guantanamo Bay, and the challenges
facing the International Criminal Court--this is an essential work
for understanding humankind's long and often troubled history.
