The War Lawyers
The United States, Israel, and Juridical Warfare
Craig Jones
"The War Lawyers" explores the role of military legal professionals in the targeting operations of some of the world's most advanced militaries. The book focuses on how the laws of war are applied, specifically for aerial targeting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Gaza. With interviews from military lawyers, the book sheds light on how lawyers have become integrated into the chain of command for identifying and attacking military targets. The author argues that these legal professionals have played a crucial role in legitimizing and even extending military violence.
