About This Book

The author treats the great European war as if submitted to an international court, laying out legal arguments about responsibility for hostilities and whether treaty obligations and guarantees of a neutral state's safety were breached. The pamphlet contrasts moral and legal principles with doctrines that justify aggression on grounds of military necessity, reviews diplomatic declarations and assurances, and analyzes whether declarations of war could be legally defended. It concludes by urging adjudication of interstate disputes through impartial international judgment rather than by force.
