Book Synopsis Power, Law and the End of Privateering by : J. Lemnitzer
Book excerpt: This book offers an exciting new take on the relationship between law and power. The 1856 Declaration of Paris marks the precise moment when international law became universal, and was an aggressive and successful British move to end privateering forever – then the United States' main weapon in case of war with Britain.
