The Internationalists by Oona A. Hathaway

How a Radical Plan to Outlaw War Remade the World

This compelling narrative explores the transformative impact of the 1928 Kellogg-Briand Pact, a seemingly obscure treaty that sought to outlaw war as a tool of national policy. The authors argue that this pact marked a pivotal shift in international relations, laying the groundwork for a new global order that prioritized diplomacy and cooperation over conflict. Through a blend of historical analysis and engaging storytelling, the book examines how this treaty influenced subsequent international laws and institutions, ultimately reshaping the way nations interact and resolve disputes in the modern world.
