Recenzje

'… His book has much to offer by way of intellectual historical analysis, moral theological reflection and political theoretical engagement. It is impeccably argued for with great conceptual depths and historical sensitivity. It is a must for any student, scholar or committed layperson, who is interested in questions about international legal thought, intellectual history and the legacy of empire.' Camilla Boisen, Global Intellectual History
