The Law of Armed Conflict: International Humanitarian Law in War introduces law students and undergraduates to the law of war in an age of terrorism. What law of armed conflict/international humanitarian law applies to particular armed conflicts? Does that law apply to terrorists as well? What is the status of participants in an armed conflict? What constitutes a war crime? What is a lawful target and how are targeting decisions made? What are rules of engagement? What weapons are lawful and unlawful, and why? This text takes the reader through these essential questions of the law of armed conflict and international humanitarian law to an awareness of finer points of battlefield law. The U.S.-weighted text incorporates lessons from many nations and includes hundreds of cases from jurisdictions worldwide.

书很厚，但是讲的一般。虽然书里用了很多战争实例来作证IHL的应用，但是几乎都是西方的例子。二战里引用欧洲战场最多，几乎不见东亚战场的事例；在朝鲜战争和越南战争的叙事里，中国也几乎不曾出现。中俄在这本教科书里是失语的。
