American Society of International Law's First Century, 1906-2006

Co-publication with The American Society of International Law

'Long anticipated, Rick Kirgis’s history of the ASIL has proved well worth the wait. It is a meticulously researched tale made lively in the telling. It is far more than just an ‘in-house history,’ however. Even non-members of the Society will find it valuable as a window into shifting American conceptions of and attitudes toward international law.' Anne-Marie Slaughter, Chair of the Centennial Committee of the American Society of International Law, 2002-2004
