- This 130,000 word study was the product of 6 years of primary-source research into the transatlantic history of the laws of armed conflict. The book's completion involved 8 trips (ranging from two weeks to three months in length), to archives in Washington DC, Geneva, London, Stafford and New York, the latter involving work with material in the NYC Library that had never been used in a study of humanitarian history. This was in addition to a textual analysis of over 100 memoirs, diaries and official reports in English French, German and Spanish, which required many hours of translation work.
