This work contains the complete primary text of the electronically issued U.S. Department of Defense Law of War Manual (2016). The Kindle version with full text and footnotes/endnotes is free with the purchase of the paperback, text only version. Anyone who may be in harm's way can benefit from reading one or more sections of this book; whether you are a warfighter, merchant mariner, journalist or just a civilian anywhere where armed conflict could take place; there is a framework of rights and responsibilities that is addressed in this book. From the High Seas, to sieges, from weapons, to parlay's there are a number of rules of engagement and conduct that need to be considered. Any warfighter who wants to do so within the framework of military honor should be familiar with the principles and responsibilities that this book strives to instill; which are, ultimately, aimed at restoring peace. This well researched treatise addresses all aspects of the agreed principles and rules of armed conflict, as well as cyber operations and the law of Air and Space. This is a law book, but in many places the principles are clearly stated. Rather than reading all the introductory matter or dwelling on the technical parts it maybe easier to scan through those areas until the definite propositions come up. In sum this Manual represents the best exposition and supporting documentation on how to honorably and justly resolve conflict by resort to the force of arms. Specifications: Manual Text: 287k words. Reference Text 427k words. 714k words total; 7,047 footnotes.

International humanitarian law is the law that governs the conduct of participants during armed conflict. This branch of law aims to regulate the means and methods of warfare as well as to provide protections to those who do not, or who no longer, take part in the hostilities. It is one of the oldest branches of international law and one of enduring relevance today. The Oxford Guide to International Humanitarian Law provides a practical yet sophisticated overview of this important area of law. Written by a stellar line up of contributors, drawn from those who not only have extensive practical experience but who are also regarded as leading scholars of the subject, the text offers a comprehensive and authoritative exposition of the field. The Guide provides professionals and advanced students with information and analysis of sufficient depth to enable them to perform their tasks with understanding and confidence. Each chapter illuminates how the law applies in practice, but does not shy away from the important conceptual issues that underpin how the law has developed. It will serve as a first port of call and a regular reference work for those interested in international humanitarian law.
