Although it is generally assumed that there have always been limits
to what soldiers are permitted to do in war, it was not until 1863,
in the heat of the Civil War, that the United States issued its
first Army manual. Subsequently, manuals of land warfare were
issued in 1914, 1934, 1940, 1944, 1956, and 1976 by the American
military. In this volume, Wells provides a systematic examination
of the evolution of American rules of warfare. In addition to
providing the texts of key elements of the manuals and analyzing
them, Wells relates the manuals to international attempts to set
limits on war practices. This book will be invaluable to those
concerned with military law, here and abroad, to students of
international law, and to military policy makers.
