{"product_id":"9780141981864","title":"The Internationalists : And Their Plan to Outlaw War by Oona Hathaway","description":"It will change the way you remember the 20th century and  read the news in the 21st' Steven Pinker'A clarion call to preserve law and order across our planet' Philippe Sands'A fascinating and important book ... given the state of the world, The Internationalists has come along at the right moment' Margaret MacMillan, Financial TimesSince the end of the Second World War, we have moved from an  international system in which war was legal, and accepted as the  ultimate arbiter of disputes between nations, to one in which it was  not. Nations that wage aggressive war have become outcasts and have  almost always had to give up their territorial gains. How did this  epochal transformation come about? This remarkable book, which combines  political, legal, and intellectual history, traces the origins and  course of one of the great shifts in the modern world.   'Sweeping and yet personable at the same time, The Internationalists  explores the profound implications of the outlawry of war. Professors  Oona Hathaway and Scott Shapiro enrich their analysis with vignettes of  the many individuals (some unknown to most students of History) who  played such important roles in this story. None have put it all together  in the way that Hathaway and Shapiro have done in this book' Paul Kennedy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56224990855541,"sku":"9780141981864","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780141981864.jpg?v=1762227826","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780141981864","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
