This page contains the proposed table of contents. To begin with, it is much larger than is feasible or reasonable. Let is begin by making it too big; then, we'll make it smaller.
Note also that we should also include interviews where we can from people with experience in various situations.
Part of our concept is to be a companion to ''Crimes of War.'' Our articles should show to understand (or collect evidence from) the situations and scenes they mention. Be sure to see their [http://www.crimesofwar.org/thebook/book.html table of contents].
