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.
