A comparative history that explores how international law shaped, constrained, and was at times disregarded by the major European powers during World War I. Hull demonstrates that legal considerations were central to military and political decision making, with differing legal traditions and state structures influencing each nation?s conduct in the war. Hull argues that the war was as much about the interpretation and defense of international law as it was about strategy, exposing stark contrasts. Through detailed archival research, the book contends that international law was not merely rhetorical, but a crucial and contested element in the making and breaking of wartime decisions, ultimately shaping the trajectory and legacy of the conflict. …

    very good green cloth. HULL, ISABEL V. Sexuality, state, and civil society in Germany, 1700-1815. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1996, xiii, 467pp., . This long-awaited work reconstructs the ways in which the meanings and uses of sex changed during that important moment of political and social configuration viewed as the birth of modernity. Isabel V. Hull analyzes the shift in the "sexual system" which occurred in German-speaking Central Europe when the absolutist state relinquished its monopoly on public life and presided over the formation of an independent civil society. Hull defines a society's sexual system as the patterned way in which sexual behavior is shaped and given meaning through institutions. She shows that as the absolutist state encouraged an independent sphere of public activity, it gave up its theoretically unlimited right to regulate sexual behavior and invested this right in the active citizens of the new civil society. Among the questions posed by this political and social transformation are, When does sexual behavior merit society's regulation? What kinds of behaviors and groups prompt intervention? What interpretive framework does the public apply to sexual behavior? Hull persuades us that a culture's sexual system can be understood only in relation to the particularities of state, law, and society, and that when state and society are examined through the sexual lens, much conventional wisdom is cast in doubt. - CONTENTS: 1. The Church, Traditional Society, and the Regulation of Sex -- 2. The Absolutist States and the Regulation of Sex -- 3. Rethinking Regulation, 1740-1800 -- 4.

    Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. Volume, measuring approximately 7" x 10", is bound in gray cloth, with stamped gilt lettering to spine. Book and dust jacket are like new. Jacket is preserved in mylar cover. 384 pages. "In a book that is at once a major contribution to modern European history and a cautionary tale for today, Isabel V. Hull argues that the routines and practices of the Imperial German Army, unchecked by effective civilian institutions, increasingly sought the absolute destruction of its enemies as the only guarantee of the nation's security. So deeply embedded were the assumptions and procedures of this distinctively German military culture that the Army, in its drive to annihilate the enemy military, did not shrink from the utter destruction of civilian property and lives. Carried to its extreme, the logic of "military necessity" found real security only in extremities of destruction, in the "silence of the graveyard." Hull begins with a dramatic account, based on fresh archival work, of the German Army's slide from administrative murder to genocide in German Southwest Africa (1904-7). The author then moves back to 1870 and the war that inaugurated the Imperial era in German history, and analyzes the genesis and nature of this specifically German military culture and its operations in colonial warfare. In the First World War the routines perfected in the colonies were visited upon European populations. Hull focuses on one set of cases (Belgium and northern France) in which the transition to total destruction was checked (if barely) and on another (Armenia) in which "military necessity" caused Germany to accept its ally's genocidal policies even after these became militarily counterproductive. She then turns to the Endkampf(1918), the German General Staff's plan to achieve victory in the Great War even if the homeland were destroyed in the process-a seemingly insane campaign that completes the logic of this deeply institutionalized set of military routines and practices. Hull concludes by speculating on the role of this distinctive military culture in National Socialism's military and racial policies. "Absolute Destruction" has serious implications for the nature of warmaking in any modern power. At its heart is a warning about the blindness of bureaucratic routines, especially when those bureaucracies command the instruments of mass death.".…
