Additionally, the current war against ISIS has racked up a staggering number of civilian deaths, including children. The days when professional armies fought in contained areas are long gone, having been replaced by drone strikes, neighbors shooting at neighbors from apartment windows, and massacres in rural villages. The viewpoints in this resource examine this byproduct of modern war and explore strategies for reducing civilian casualties."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Civilian war casualties. 650 0 $a Civilians in war. 650 0 $a War $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Military history, Modern $y 20th century $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Military history, Modern $y 21st century $v Case studies. 650 7 $a Civilian war casualties. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01736162 650 7 $a Civilians in war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01746486 650 7 $a Military history, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021239 650 7 $a War $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170352 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 700 1 $a Krasner, Barbara, $e editor. 830 0 $a Global viewpoints. 941 $a 2 952 $l P1AX906 $d 20230620011854.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20190607010615.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC530D5A760D11E987FF680497128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
