The book titled ""The Unanimity Rule and the League of Nations: Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical and Political Science, New Series, No. 20"" is a scholarly work by Cromwell A. Riches. It is part of the New Series of the Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical and Political Science. The book explores the concept of the unanimity rule and its impact on the functioning of the League of Nations. The League of Nations was an international organization established after World War I to promote peace and cooperation among nations. The unanimity rule required that all member states agree on any decision made by the League, making it difficult for the organization to take effective action. The author examines the origins of the unanimity rule, its impact on the League's decision-making process, and the reasons for its eventual failure. The book provides a detailed analysis of the League's efforts to maintain peace and resolve conflicts, and the challenges it faced in achieving its goals. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of international relations, political science, and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
