1 A note on p. 233 does indicate that Chapter 8, dealing with the application of the pertinent law of war by the People's Republic of China is the work of Professor Jerome A. Cohen of Harvard Law School. This chapter, and Chapter 7 on the Soviet Union, as to which the identity of the actual author is not given, are the two highlights of the volume.

2 With respect to “Other Powers,” the caveat is properly given that “[p]redictions as to how nations may treat prisoners of war in a future limited conflict are highly speculative” (p. 253).
