This project originated when I was in church "Hominy Baptist Church" and I was thinking of a way to reach my son Justin about war Power and violence, since we are both PS 2 and X-box gamer. And most kid's today are over exposed by The Internet TV and video games So I started this World History project.

War Crimes and the Rules of War

The rules of war, oxymoron though the phrase may be, are obviously of crucial importance in the 20th century. But where do these rules come from and how have they been developed? How seriously have they been taken by the United States in comparison with other countries?
Join Truman Clark in looking at the origins of these concepts and their changing definitions to aid in understanding more about these current events in Iraq.
Truman Clark was a full-time college history professor for almost 30 years at schools including Pepperdine University in Los Angeles/Malibu California, the University of Pennsylvania, and Tomball College near Houston. For another 7 years he was a professional historian for the U.S. Air Force
