In the book, The Laws of War, historian Tammy Davis Biddle goes and quotes some of the military manuals from right before the Second World War.

Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: morality of warfare
For: Historians and military ethics scholars
Key quote: But nothing challenged conventional military morality as much as another piece of technology that was just coming into its own in 1918 when the war abruptly ended, air power.
The host discusses the evolution of military technology and its impact on the morality of warfare, particularly highlighting the shift brought about by air power. This leads to a mention of 'The Laws of War' to emphasize how these technological advancements challenged established norms and ethics in conflict.
