"This [book] is intended as a practical yet sophisticated overview of the subject for professionals who are not necessarily IHL experts, but who work in field where IHL may be relevant ... It is intended to be more detailed and nuanced, and less descriptive, than some of the many introductory surveys or student textbooks on IHL which have proliferated in recent years, precisely as a result of the burgeoning interest in the practice of IHL in many conflicts and countries"--Page v.
