“Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.”

My book recommendation goes to “Crimes of War” by Roy Gutman. This book gets readers interested in a compelling account of wartime events and their impact this book is a must-read. In my opinion should be required reading during senior year of high school. Its Written by journalists, scholars and law experts, this book not only details the wrongs committed in recent wars but also who committed them and under what laws the perpetrators can be prosecuted. The photographs are often shocking and force the viewer to face the truths in the text its very intresting and definitely keeps your attention.

The book is well written by men and women who either witnessed the atrocities or are working to bring war criminals to justice. “Crimes of War” clearly shows that there are binding laws of warfare, and those who break these laws must be held accountable for their actions. It’s interesting but also very informal and demonstrates the ugly sides of governments and what’s also what’s unknown to the public for the most part.

I would rate this book a solid 5 out of 5 stars for its depth and the important insights it provides into the human experience during wartime. It’s a must-read for anyone seeking to grasp the full scope of war’s effects on society. Also if you’re just bored and need something intresting I think war Is interesting and the book’s images and stories are so intriguing.
