Issues of the war that have provoked public controversy and legal
debate over the last two years—the Cambodian invasion of May-June
1970, the disclosure in November 1969 of the My Lai massacre, and the
question of war crimes—are the focus of Volume 3. As in the previous
volumes, the Civil War Panel of the American Society of International
Law has endeavored to select the most significant legal writing on the
subject and to provide, to the extent possible, a balanced
presentation of opposing points of view. Parts I and II deal directly
with the Cambodian, My Lai, and war crimes debates. Related questions
are treated in the rest of the volume: constitutional debate on the
war; the distribution of functions among coordinate branches of the
government; the legal status of the insurgent regime in the struggle
for control of South Vietnam; prospects for settlement without a
clear-cut victory; and Vietnam's role in general world order. The
articles reflect the views of some forty contributors: among them,
Jean Lacouture, Henry Kissinger, John Norton Moore, Quincy Wright,
William H. Rhenquist, and Richard A. Falk. Originally published in
1972. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from
the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal
of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the
rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by
Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
