Die Entgrenzung der Gewalt in kriegerischen Konflikten vom Mittelalter bis ins 20. Jahrhundert. Volume 40 of the series "War in History". This volume deals with the rules prescribed by the custom of war or international law for dealing with enemy soldiers and civilians and with their violation. Historians from six countries examine - across epochs from the Middle Ages to the 20th century - such violations of norms and laws. Selected case studies make clear by whom, in what form, under what circumstances and for what reason these boundaries were transgressed in each case. Which acts stood out from the violence of war, which was perceived as "normal", is shown, as well as the different views of what should be considered an "atrocity of war" depending on the time and circumstances. Approx. 424 pages.
