Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-11 00:00:00 Chad Graham This is a useful book, particularly in Land law (which is not my area of interest). However, the first two chapters in particular are really helpful in making sense of property law in general. I skipped through the other chapters.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-12-29 00:00:00 Carlos Covington A good introduction to the law of armed conflict and its nexus with state policy with a good further reading list at the end of the book so readers can do further research into this continuously developing area of law. A word of warning however! While the themes of this book are very interesting, pretty much right from the get go there's an undertone of bias against the United States which becomes quite overt toward the end. For example, Byers discusses the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib by some members of the US military at length. However, he downplays the fact that it was the US media who took a leading role in exposing and denouncing this type of conduct, illustrating the importance of approaching this book critically. Overall, I still consider it a worthwhile introduction to anyone interested in this branch of international law. 3.5/5 Stars
