In this episode, legal historian SamuelMoyn critically reflects on the pursuit of 'humane
wars.' "We fight war crimes, but we have forgotten the crime of
war," Moyn says. Thus, he says,
the wars of recent decades have led to a fixation on the means of
war, rather than a discussion of how to end them
sustainably. SamuelMoyn is professor of law at Yale Law School and
professor of history at Yale University. He is the author of "Not
Enough: Human Rights in an Unequal World" and "Humane. How the
United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War.“
