William H. Boothby Knihy

Focusing on the legal framework surrounding nuclear weapons, the book systematically explores topics such as sovereignty, the use of force, and war crimes. It offers insights into the responsibilities of submarine commanders and assesses the significance of the ICJ's Nuclear Advisory Opinion and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Written in an accessible style, it serves as a resource for lawyers, military commanders, politicians, and academics, aiming to clarify legal implications and provide practical guidance in this critical field. Open access is also available.

Drawing on extensive military experience and academic expertise, the author offers a personal evaluation of contemporary challenges in conflict law. Key topics include the implications of new weaponry, the rise of drone warfare, and the impact of modern media on warfare and legal frameworks.

Unabridged reproduction of "Boothby's World Drinks and How to Mix Them" from 1907. This book, published before prohibition, has over 500 mixed drinks, including one of the first references of the 'Dry Martini'! It is a fantastic "unabridged encyclopedia of all popular beverages" of that time. Broken down by liquor, this allowed a bartender to supply the order like an expert because he could reference it in this book under the bar. Forget about bar bibles or encyclopedias, what about drinks that people really used? As so few bar books were written and even fewer survived at all from the past 100 years, it a great pleasure to be able to bring these drinks that were used at the time to our modern attention and use.

Two expert foreign analysts provide a detailed assessment of the United States Department of Defense Law of War Manual, considering its legal accuracy and completeness of provisions. This book will be an invaluable reference to all users of the Manual including academics, military lawyers, policy staffs and strategic thinkers.
