Knock-Your-Socks-Off History of Churban Bayis II and the Bar Kokhba Rebellion 

Part 4:

Changes to the Rules of War

How the rules of war changed over time from not allowing even defensive war on Shabbos to allowing war even on seemingly non-lethal threats, How the law change on who returns from the battlefield, etc. More to come.

From the preface to the sefer Zivchei Ephraim by Rabbi Ephraim Dov HaKohen Lop, author of my favorite commentary on the Yerushalmi, the Gilayon Ephraim.
