The Laws of War on Land: Written and Unwritten (1908)

""The Laws of War on Land: Written and Unwritten"" is a book written by Thomas Erskine Holland and published in 1908. The book is a comprehensive study of the laws of war on land, both written and unwritten. Holland examines the various treaties, conventions, and customs that govern the conduct of war on land, including the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907. He also explores the moral and ethical principles that guide the behavior of combatants during armed conflict, such as the duty to minimize harm to civilians and the prohibition against the use of unnecessary force. Throughout the book, Holland emphasizes the importance of adherence to these laws in order to mitigate the suffering and devastation that accompany war. The book remains a seminal work in the field of international humanitarian law and is still widely cited and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
