Description: "Despite its significant influence on international law, international relations, natural law and political thought in general, Grotius's Law of War and Peace has been virtually unavailable for many decades. Stephen C. Neff's edited and annotated version of the text rectifies this situation. Containing the substantive portion of the classic text, but shorn of extraneous material, this edition of one of the classic works of Western legal and political thought is intended for students and teachers in four primary areas: history of international law; history of political thought; history of international relations; and history of philosophy"--P.
