Professor Haas gives chapter and verse in precise but non-technical language, including the specific acts deemed to be war crimes, the names of the officials deemed to be war criminals, and the exact language of the international or domestic laws violated by those officials.

He evaluates the real-world practicability of bringing cases against Bush and Bush officials in each of the possible venues.
