For those who were caught up the Vietnam War, this book offers a ray of hope that the atrocities of that war will not be forgotten and its lessons will be learned by new generations. If we are to have a future free of war, we must recognize illegality in warfare when it occurs, and new generations must learn to respect international law, particularly the criminal accountability for crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity set forth in the Nuremberg Principles and the treaty establishing the International Criminal Court. I hope this book will be widely read throughout the world and certainly by citizens and leaders who have responsibility for decisions to use military force and for the conduct of wars.'

International lawyer Richard Falk, who observed these acts personally in North Vietnam in 1968, uses international law to show how they came about. This book brings together essays that he has written on the Vietnam War and on its relationship to international law, American foreign policy, and the global world order. Falk argues that only a stronger adherence to international law can save the world from such future tragedies and create a sustainable world order.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword: the harmful legacy of lawlessness in Vietnam Richard Falk\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
