Reviews

'This is an excellent book. Matthew Parish is an impressively qualified lawyer... it is perhaps only someone with such a background who could write a book as insightful and intelligent about international law and the international organisations who purport to administer it.' - Troy Anderson, Law Society Journal 'This is a book of unusual power and insight. Parish's deconstruction of the illusory promise of international justice may make uneasy reading but it is a necessary addition to the literature in this field.' - David Chandler, University of Westminster, UK and Editor of the Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding 'This book issues the latest blast against the crumbling battlements of the cloud-fortress of international law. Meticulous, engaging, and forcefully written, the book offers little consolation for defenders amid the ruins.' - Eric Posner, University of Chicago Law School, US
