William T. Sherman, \""is cruelty, and you cannot refine it.\"" Throughout history, noncombatants have always been among the victims of war's violence. In thisbook, nine distinguished historians examine twenty-five hundred years of human conflicts and their varied impacts on civilian society. Each case study examines not only what military forces did to noncombatants in the area of their operations, but why they did it and how they justified their actions.
