Synopsis

Clear, accessible guidance on the rules that govern nations in peace and war. This book presents International Law as a practical framework for understanding how states interact, why these rules exist, and how they are applied in real-world disputes.


Written as an introductory guide rather than a dry textbook, it helps general readers grasp the big ideas behind the law of nations. The author surveys the nature, history, and sources of International Law, then narrows to how these rules shape conduct during war and the treatment of belligerents and neutrals. It aims to illuminate why these principles matter for citizens and students alike.



  • Definitions and scope of International Law and its main branches

  • How rules are created, agreed, and enforced among independent states

  • The Law of War, including belligerency, neutrality, and the ending of hostilities

  • Practical considerations for understanding disputes and national conduct


Ideal for readers seeking a solid, approachable introduction to international law and its practical implications for national and individual interests.
