Within the year, the treaty signed that day, known as the Peace Pact, had been ratified by nearly every state in the world. War, for the first time in history, had become illegal. But within a decade of its signing, each state that had gathered in Paris to renounce war was \u003ci\u003eat war\u003c\/i\u003e. And in the century that followed, the Peace Pact was dismissed as an act of folly and an unmistakable failure. This book argues that the Peace Pact ushered in a sustained march toward peace that lasts to this day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA \"thought-provoking and comprehensively researched book\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eThe Internationalists\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of the Peace Pact through a fascinating and diverse array of lawyers, politicians, and intellectuals. It reveals the centuries-long struggle of ideas over the role of war in a just world order. It details the brutal world of conflict the Peace Pact helped extinguish, and the subsequent era where tariffs and sanctions take the place of tanks and gunships. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Internationalists \u003c\/i\u003eis \"indispensable\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e). Accessible and gripping, this book will change the way we view the history of the twentieth century--and how we must work together to protect the global order the internationalists fought to make possible. \"A fascinating and challenging book, which raises gravely important issues for the present...Given the state of the world, \u003ci\u003eThe Internationalists \u003c\/i\u003ehas come along at the right moment\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Financial Times\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOona A.
