The Case of Edith Cavell

Written by James Beck, the former assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, to Germany's Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs during the First World War. This was a treatise on the rights of non-combatants. It took the story of Edith Cavell, a British nurse who was executed by the Germans for helping Allied soldiers escape German-occupied Belgium, as a case study.
