Zusammenfassung:Prologue : what we have forgottenBelgian neutrality -- The "Belgian atrocities" and the laws of war on land -- Occupation and the treatment of enemy civilians 191-279 -- Great Britain and the blockade -- Breaking and making international law : the blockade, 1915-1918 -- Germany and new weapons : the submarine, zeppelin, poison gas, flame throwers -- Unrestricted submarine warfare -- Reprisals : prisoners of war and allied aerial bombardment.
A century after the outbreak of the Great War, we have forgotten the central role that international law and the dramatically different interpretations of it played in the conflict's origins and conduct. Hull compares wartime decision making in Germany, Great Britain, and France, weighing the impact of legal considerations in each. Throughout, she emphasizes the profound tension between international law and military necessity in time of war, and demonstrates how differences in state structures and legal traditions shaped the way in which each of the three belligerents fought the war
