America and the Law of Nations 1776-1939 is a unique exploration of
the ways in which Americans have perceived, applied, advanced, and
frustrated international law. It demonstrates the varieties and
continuities of America's approaches to international law. The book
begins with the important role the law of nations played for
founders like Jefferson and Madison in framing the Declaration of
Independence and the Constitution. It then discusses the
intellectual contributions to international law made by leaders in
the New Republic -Kent and Wheaton- and the place of international
law in the 19th century judgments of Marshall, Story, and Taney.
The book goes on to examine the contributions of American utopians
-Dodge, Worcester, Ladd, Burritt, and Carnegie- to the
establishment of the League of Nations, the World Court, the
International Law Association and the American Society of
International Law. It finishes with an analysis of the wavering
support to international law given by Woodrow Wilson and the
emergence of a new American isolationism following the
disappointment of World War I.
For anyone who hopes to understand the important place of
international law in America and the complex role of America in the
development of international law, America and the Law of Nations
1776-1939 is a crucial read.
