Title: Good primer for international case law
Review: I had the opportunity to use this textbook several years ago, and found it to be very helpful, and not too heavy on the philosophical faddism found in some other materials on international law. I also had Professor Damrosch as my professor for the course, and found her to be a very good teacher.International law has taken on new importance in the post-9-11 world, and even non-law students are becoming interested in this critical topic. For example, this book will help you understand why the concept of "imminent threat" is so important in international law. See The Caroline Case (1837) 2 Moore 409.The reviewer below critiques the editing of the fifth edition. I must admit that I read the fourth edition, and not the fifth. So his criticisms may have merit.
Is the review positive or negative?
