Named as an Outstanding Academic Book of 1997 by CHOICE
Louis Henkin is University Professor Emeritus at Columbia University
'Both the novice and the expert continue to benefit from the
reading of this classic...The Second Edition features the usual
Henkin cornerstones: a richly adorned blueprint, a solidly
researched foundation, and a writing style which hammers the
essentials into elegant construction.'
'Nearly 25 years has passed since the publication of the first
edition of this book. This is a much-anticipated new edition,
reconceived, reorganized and updated by the author...This is an
exceptionally interesting and useful volume, written by a wise and
experienced lawyer with a substantial knowledge of US foreign
policy and international affairs in general. The material is
extremely carefully selected, the judgements are clear, distinctly
formulated and
strongly supported by documented evidence...The book is also
written with literary grace, making it enjoyable reading not only
for experts but also anyone wanting to understand how US foreign
policy is
made. For academics, for foreign policy practitioners and for
students, the author's scholarly notes, displaying a unique
gathering of judicial opinion on foreign affairs, are
indispenable.'
'it is the only work in its subject area. It follows its
predecessor in giving a comprehensive, analytical and objective
survey of the American Constitution as it impinges on foreign
affairs...ir provides tables and cases and treaties, together with
an expremely thorough index. Not to mention LOTS of endnotes.'
..."I would unhesitatingly recommend this book to any serious
inquirer into the constitutional law of foreign relations...This is
a great work of constitutional law. Henkin's book is consistently
well-reasoned and persuasive...The whole work bears the mark of a
perfectionist. A great deal of effort indeed must have been put
into creating the structure of this book...Henkin's lean prose
makes him a fine communicator...The considerable impacy of this
book is not
limited to the academy, Its influence extends farther afield...I
agree wholeheartedly with all who have praised this book. I would
also express the hope that publication of this book by Oxford
University Press will gain it international recognition matching
the national recognition it has attained in the United States."
