Stephen Neff's edited and annotated version of the text rectifies this situation. Containing the substantive portion of the classic text, but shorn of extraneous material, this edited and annotated edition of one of the classic works of Western legal and political thought is intended for students and teachers in four primary areas: history of international law, history of political thought, history of international relations and history of philosophy. 517 3 $aHugo Grotius on the Law of War & Peace 606 $aInternational law$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aWar (International law)$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aNatural law$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aInternational law 615 0$aWar (International law) 615 0$aNatural law 676 $a341.6 700 $aGrotius$b Hugo$f1583-1645,$0153312 702 $aNeff$b Stephen C. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462255203321 996 $aHugo Grotius on the law of war and peace$92452650 997 $aUNINA
