Reviews

An exciting, original, and completely convincing demonstration that the US wars against Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq, and the institutional apparatus that has given them legal support, such as the Yugoslavia Tribunal and UN, have been a travesty of law and are returning the world to the law of the jungle. This book is essential reading for anybody who wants to understand how the law really works in international affairs, and it throws a great deal of light on those international affairs themselves. -- Edward S. Herman This closely reasoned and carefully documented study is sad and grim, and necessary. Unless its lessons are heeded by citizens of the rich and powerful states, the fate of the world will be left to the whim of those with the guns and the faith to enforce their will. The prospects are not attractive. -- Noam Chomsky

Michael Mandel is terrific... offer him a lot of space because he has a lot to say Ed Herman
