This book is a prodigious work of provocative scholarship. This is not, altogether, surprising given the formidable academic and intellectual pedigree of the authors: thoroughbred scholars, currently, law teachers at the University of Benin. True, indeed, the book bears the unmistakable imprint of their expertise. The authors plumbed the depth of topics which are not only basic in international law but also foundational even as they are the gateway to a profound understanding of the secondary areas to which international law has expanded.
