Diana Preston talked about her book A Higher Form of Killing: Six Weeks in World War I that Forever Changed the Nature of Warfare, in which she examines Germany’s violation of rules of war during World War I, from the dispersal of poison gas against French and Canadian soldiers at Ypres to the submarine attack on the passenger liner Lusitania, and the aerial bombardment of London. In her book, the author reports that these acts abolished prior agreements made at the Hague Conventions and were designed to sow terror amongst the Allied populations. close
