The volume assembles a long series of newspaper letters and explanatory commentary by a leading international law scholar addressing legal issues of war and neutrality. It groups discussions of peaceful dispute settlement, commissions of enquiry, and institutions such as the League, alongside analysis of conventions and legislation, including maritime prize law, contraband, blockade, neutrality proclamations, occupation and requisition, aerial and submarine warfare, reprisals, and the Geneva and Hague regimes. Practical incidents and proposed reforms are examined to illustrate legal principles, with topical organization, cross-references, and an index to aid readers seeking authoritative, case-focused treatments of public international law in wartime.
