This volume explores the complex relationship between international law and civil war through six essays on the American Civil War, the Spanish Civil War, the Algerian Revolution, and conflicts in the Congo, Yemen and Vietnam. Emphasis is placed on the facts and law of external participation on behalf of either or both contending factions, the role of international institutions, the patterns of adherence to the laws of war and patterns by which the violence was ended and order restored.
