From some reviews of the second edition:
a textbook which is entitled to great respect and which will earn the gratitude of all international lawyers.
F. A. Mann in The British Year Book of International Law 1972-73
. Brownlie has now clearly moved into a leading position among the works on International Law in the English Language.
D. H. N. Johnson in Journal of the Society of Public Teachers of Law
Despite the appearance of several competitors since the publication of the first edition, Dr Brownlie's book holds its place as a lucid exposition of the principles of the law of peace and, with the inclusion of the new material, is probably the best single-volume treatment of the subject available.
C. A. Hopkins, The Cambridge Law Journal
In 1976 the second edition received the award of the Certificate of Merit of the American Society of International Law. The Society's citation described the book as "a work of great distinction". Vissza
