international law textbook review

The book came brand new still in the packaging. I payed extra for the express delivery, but it still took almost a week to get here, which was quite upsetting. Overall--excellent quality but poor delivery time.

has a good part on the legal status of the divided states

Few books on international law ever touched upon the problem of the legal status of the divided status. Yet Prof. von Glahn has a section specifically devoted to the discussion of the problem of divided states under international law.Also, I found his use of cases to illustrate the various issue in international law especially helpful. Otherwise,the teacher and students have to go to another case book such as the one put out by Briggs to find the cases.

too expensive for its worth

The author wastes 3 chapters trying to have the fittest explanation of international law's legitimacy. However, there is no need to dwell on such reasons and waste valuable space. The case studies were very crucial for every international law undergraduate, therefore, they were very useful tools in developing the analytical skils of readers. Nevertheless, he could have provided an overview of the history of similar cases, together with the countries which may have signed treaties.
