I am currently reading some books that are found in the r/AskHistorians reading list for WWI and WWII.
Through this, and watching some documentaries and tv shows about some of the battles itself, I am interested in finding out about the history of setting conventions for conducting modern wars, how they’re formed and agreed upon, how the major ones like Hague and Geneva conventions came about, as well as how actual instances of qualifiable war crimes were dealt with postwar, e.g. Nuremberg trials.
These can all be from separate books but these are the thoughts or questions regarding war crimes I’m interested in.
If anyone has suggestions for books of a similar flavor that deals with earlier history before WWI times, then that would be appreciated as well.
