The Rules of War
Author(s)Walzer, Michael
AbstractWhile chivalry has been dead for quite some time, war still is governed by a certain code of conduct. Soldiers typically follow two types of rules: 1. When and how they can kill and 2. Who they can kill. Walzer cites the example of Eisenhower refusing to shake hands with captured Nazi General von Arnim, who explained that WWII was not about comrades in arms with each other, but actual forces of good fighting evil.
