Trade Review
"An insightful and thoughtful history that traces the development of concepts such as human rights and world peace from The Hague conference of 1899 to the founding of the United Nations. The first half of the twentieth century and the heroic efforts of those who sought international justice during that time will be much better understood and appreciated thanks to this fascinating book." - Robert F. Drinan, author of The Mobilization of Shame: A World View of Human Rights
