A comparative history that explores how international law shaped, constrained, and was at times disregarded by the major European powers during World War I. Hull demonstrates that legal considerations were central to military and political decision making, with differing legal traditions and state structures influencing each nation?s conduct in the war. Hull argues that the war was as much about the interpretation and defense of international law as it was about strategy, exposing stark contrasts. Through detailed archival research, the book contends that international law was not merely rhetorical, but a crucial and contested element in the making and breaking of wartime decisions, ultimately shaping the trajectory and legacy of the conflict.
