New Approaches to European History is an important textbook series, which provides concise but authoritative surveys of
major themes and problems in European history since the Renaissance. Written at a level and length accessible to advanced
school students and undergraduates, each book in the series addresses topics or themes that students of European history
encounter daily: the series embraces both some of the more traditional subjects of study, and those cultural and social issues
to which increasing numbers of school and college courses are devoted. A particular effort is made to consider the wider international
implications of the subject under scrutiny. To aid the student reader, scholarly apparatus and annotation is light, but each work has full supplementary bibliographies and notes for further reading: where appropriate, chronologies, maps, diagrams, and other illustrative material are also provided.
Stephen C. Neff, War and the Law of Nations: A General History
This ambitious volume traces war as a legal concept from Roman times through to the twentieth century. Neff demonstrates how war has been seen variously as a law-enforcement operation, as a duel between states and as a 'crime against the peace'. He also considers the post World War II definition of war as an international law-enforcement mechanism under UN aupices. Although unsuccessful, this attempt did help transform war into a humanitarian, rather than a policy, problem.
