Review Of The Verdict Of Battle: The Law Of Victory And The Making Of Modern War, Robert D. Sloane

Faculty Scholarship

Whitman, a remarkably erudite and original contribution to scholarship on military history and the law of war. It sketches the work’s compelling historical arguments and then critiques its (comparatively modest) polemical dimensions and normative conclusions.
