Legal Ramifications of the First World War. Originally published: New York: E.P. Dutton and Company, 1915. xxviii, 578 pp. The authors argue that the First World War effectively ended the existing system of international law, a system that was already in decline due to the growing economic and political interdependence of states. These changes have created a new set of problems that will provide the basis of a new system of international law when the war ends. In addition to supplying an intellectual framework for this new system, Baty and Morgan address practical topics, such as international arbitration, and more abstract issues, such as the clash between nationalism and cosmopolitanism. [V]ery good reading….It is a thoughtful book. –T.S.W., Yale Law Journal 19:313-314.
