Humanity in Warfare:
The modern history of the international law of armed conflicts.
libdoc November=1991

Author: Best Geoffrey
Publisher: Methuen 1983 pp. 408
Keywords: Military Law History

"This book is about an idea: the idea that, if there are to be
wars, and so long as wars go on, it is certainly better for the
warring parties, and probably better for mankind at large, that
the persons fighting should observe some prohibitions and
restraints on how they do it; the idea, to put it at its
briefest, of humanity in warfare. Geoffrey Best traces his idea
from the eighteenth century to the present day." (Publishers
