Miss Manners for War Criminals

by Jack Smith

Overview

Dean Troost is working on his master's thesis in history and can't seem--even though he realizes he must--to get beyond counting the war dead from the present war and innumerable past wars. The novel turns on the question of whether or not war is a crime itself, and whether the rationalizations offered for it are not dodges and deceptions to put a smiling face on an ugly truth.
