The Internationalists: How a Radical Plan to Outlaw War Remade the World, by Oona A. Hathaway and Scott J. Shapiro, is a riveting account of the people who created the Kellogg-Briand Pact in 1928. It tells the story of visionaries who tried to limit war through law and traces the impact of international law on the promotion of peace in the post-World War II era. A splendid, thought-provoking read by masterly pens that even skeptics will enjoy.
