Log update and essay question:

Ok. Lots of reading and note-taking and highlighting and coffee drinking later, I STILL can't quite come up with a question. It's really annoying me. I know that I want to write about - I want to compare My Lai and Nuremberg, and the trials of both of them. I'm going to bed to sleep on it.

Log update:

Since Mr. Stewart suggested that I should focus my essay on Vietnam and the My Lai massacre and mention Nuremberg, I've done a bit of research about those - just on the internet though (this means I've added some things to my bibliography). I have to go to the Barr Smith library tomorrow to return/extend the books I have, so while I'm there I may as well look at more books concerning Vietnam. I have some ideas in my head of what the essay question should be, but they aren't really lucid at the moment - I'm going to go and do some more reading now and will hopefully be able to post some possible questions later in the evening (yes, I am spending a Saturday night working on History).

Log update:

Just doing some reading tonight. I've been looking at a book from the Barr Smith Library called War and Moral Responsibilty, which has a chapter called 'The Relevance of Nuremberg' and talks about how Nuremberg is used as a justification for war crimes - particularly in Vietnam. As a result of this I think I might write an essay which regards the Vietnam War in relation to Nuremberg. I'm encouraged by the fact that this book says that, "there is no shortage of literature" about this.

Also, Mr. Stewart - I added a website to my bibliography but I'm not really sure if the referencing is right?
