The history of noncombatant immunity is well established. What is less understood is how militaries have rationalized violating this immunity. This book traces the development of how militaries have rationalized the killing of the innocent from the thirteenth century onward. In the process, this historiography shows how we have arrived at the ascendant convention that assumes militaries should not intentionally kill the innocent. Furthermore, it shows how moral arguments about the permissibility of killing the innocent are largely adaptations to material changes in how wars are fought, whether through technological innovations or changes in institutional structures.

Brian’s life began in working class Leicester before the 2nd World War. It has been a good life, successful at work, enjoyable at play and useful in the community. Family life has been a joy. Throughout, he has been at the forefront of change and innovation, from the exploration of supersonic flight in war-torn Coventry in the 1950s to the birth of financial services regulation in the City of London in the 1980s, and much else in between. Brian was awarded the OBE in 1997. He would gladly swap all of this success to rid his wife of the curse of mental illness, which has blighted much of her later life.

Christian Apologetics is the verbal defense of Christian theology against any objections. This six-book series of Thy Kingdom Come has consistently tried to state the same case through both literary non-fictional and fictional pros, just as many of the other Christian Apologists have done in different ways since the days of Christ. There are many forms of Christian apologetics. These forms include historical, legal, presuppositional, philosophical, prophetic, doctrinal, moral, and scientific Christian apologetics.This author of this series of Christian Apologetics believes that the Apostle Paul summed it up best when he wrote a letter in about 60AD while imprisoned in Rome and he said, "Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the first-born over all creation. For by him, all things were created: things in Heaven and on earth, the visible, and the invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities all things were created for him and by him. He was before all things, and in him all things hold together."

Using the wisdom of hindsight, he reveals the clear business practices and spiritual truths that he discovered and honed along his path to success. Written with refreshing candor and camaraderie, seasoned with time-worn knowledge and perspective, The Birth of a Brand is for anyone interested a joyful, genuine, spiritual life while and still be wildly successful in their professional life at the same time.
