'It will change the way you remember the 20th century and read the
news in the 21st' Steven Pinker 'A clarion call to preserve law and
order across our planet' Philippe Sands 'A fascinating and
important book ... given the state of the world, The
Internationalists has come along at the right moment' Margaret
MacMillan, Financial Times Since the end of the Second World War,
we have moved from an international system in which war was legal,
and accepted as the ultimate arbiter of disputes between nations,
to one in which it was not. Nations that wage aggressive war have
become outcasts and have almost always had to give up their
territorial gains. How did this epochal transformation come about?
This remarkable book, which combines political, legal, and
intellectual history, traces the origins and course of one of the
great shifts in the modern world. 'Sweeping and yet personable at
the same time, The Internationalists explores the profound
implications of the outlawry of war. Professors Oona Hathaway and
Scott Shapiro enrich their analysis with vignettes of the many
individuals (some unknown to most students of History) who played
such important roles in this story. None have put it all together
in the way that Hathaway and Shapiro have done in this book' Paul
Kennedy
