The Internationalists: How a Radical Plan to Outlaw War Remade the World by Scott J. Shapiro, Oona A. Hathaway

5.0

Great overview of International law and its development, from Grotius onwards. Provides a good frame of reference of why people talk about war in different ways now, and also builds upon the historical narrative with data based evidence in the 3rd part of the book. I also loved the prose - definitely made me laugh in a couple places, which is not what I was expecting from a serious nonfiction book.
