The ninth edition of Textbook on Criminal Law continues to closely match the coverage requirements of criminal law courses. The concise and lively writing style adopted brings clarity to the subject without compromising accuracy and detail. The popularity of the book lies in its engaging analysis that draws the student in, displaying a welcome lack of restraint when challenging the decisions of the judiciary or the legislature. The author draws on his considerable teaching and examining experience to make complex areas easily understable through a straightforward and jargon free approach that helps students feel comfortable with the subject, whilst encouraging wider debate on the underlying principles. Students studying criminal law for the first time are provided with the ideal balance of coverage and detail that makes the subject accessible. The book is accompanied by an Online Resource Centre offering twice-yearly updates to key cases and legislation.

Criminal law is subject to rapid changes, not only through statutory amendment but also by means of judical decisions. "Elliott and Wood's Casebook on Criminal Law" provides an extensive, authoritative collection of extracts from the leading cases and other vital materials. Judicial activity since publication of the further edition has transformed many of the chapters. Among the topics included in this edition are: the restatement of the meaning of intention in "Moloney" and "Hancock and Shankland"; the redefinition of the mental elements of murder in "Moloney" and of manslaughter in "Seymour" and "Kong Chenk Kwan"; and the meaning of appropriation in theft in "Morris". Attempt and impossiblity are reviewed through "Anderton v. Ryan" and "Shivpuri", as are claims of self-defence in "Beckford" and duress in "Howe". A further important development, the Law Commission's draft Criminal Code, is widely referred to throughout the detailed notes accompanying the materials.

Fewer Americans were captured or missing during the Vietnam War than in any previous major military conflict in U.S. history. Yet despite their small numbers, American POWs inspired an outpouring of concern that slowly eroded support for the war. Michael J. Allen reveals how wartime loss transformed U.S. politics well before, and long after, the war's official end. Throughout the war's last years and in the decades since, Allen argues, the effort to recover lost warriors was as much a means to establish responsibility for their loss as it was a search for answers about their fate. Though millions of Americans and Vietnamese took part in that effort, POW and MIA families and activists dominated it. Insisting that the war was not over "until the last man comes home," this small, determined group turned the unprecedented accounting effort against those they blamed for their suffering. Allen demonstrates that POW/MIA activism prolonged the hostility between the United States and Vietnam even as the search for the missing became the basis for closer ties between the two countries in the 1990s. Equally important, he explains, POW/MIA families' disdain for the antiwar left and contempt for federal authority fueled the conservative ascendancy after 1968. Mixing political, cultural, and diplomatic history, Until the Last Man Comes Home presents the full and lasting impact of the Vietnam War in ways that are both familiar and surprising.
