The laws of yesterday's wars : from Indigenous Australians to the American Civil War

White, Samuel C. Duckett (editor.). E.J. Brill (Firm) (issuing body.).

Summary: "This book offers a culture-by-culture account of various unique restrictions placed on warfare over time, in a bid to demonstrate the underlying humanity often accompanying the horrors of war. It offers the first systematic exploration of Indigenous Australian laws of war, relaying decades of experience in communities. Containing essays by a range of laws of war academics and practitioners, this volume is a starting point in a new debate on the question: how international is international humanitarian law?"--
