What drives people to mistreat, humiliate and torment others at times of war? This work examines the anarchy, cruelty and overwhelming confusion of modern warfare. It also analyzes: what happens when morality vanishes from the battlefield and why torture is endemic in modern warfare, and how human rights lose meaning as a set of principles.
