Abstract
Leading international scholars are providing fresh perspectives on law and war in popular culture. They analyse works of popular culture, place them into their context at the time of origin and discuss their meaning for today’s audiences. Law and war in film, television series, opera and pop music are investigated in the ten chapters of the book by authors coming from the subjects of media studies, political science, sociology, law and criminology as well as music. Wars not only produce war crimes, law is also deeply involved on a wider scale: by enabling warfare, regulating or failing to regulate its conduct and in the aftermath of wars. Readers are gaining from a range of perspectives and approaches to depictions of law and war.
