In this seminal work, Professor Michael Newton provides an irreplaceable tool for any politician, international expert, or military practitioner who wishes to understand the approach taken by the American military in the complex range of modern conflicts. Concurrently, the functions performed by modern armed forces also include a wide array of activities from conducting hostilities, maintaining order to the transport of humanitarian aid, clearing mines, fighting crime and helping the reconstruction of State structures in the post bellum phase. Civilian leaders too have to deal with such complexity as they implement military plans within the boundaries of a multi-layered legal framework (international law, human rights law, law of armed conflict, law of the host nation, domestic law, military disciplinary conducts).
In twenty-first century conflicts, the increased density of the legal terrain has become a source of anxiety for soldiers, and commanders.
