comprehensive, yet accurate????: There is a "serious" mistake in chapter related to the dispute settlements; the Jay Treaty was signed in 1974? Mr. Shaw?? don't think so. can I rely on any other historical dates in this book? not really.
comment on comment: the jay treaty was signed in 1794...it is easy to see how a mistake may be overlooked and the date of 1974 may creep into the text of such a voluminous work. In the light hereof I think the reader from Korea was unnecessarily harsh...editing mistakes are an everyday occurrence and the date was as easy as a search in yahoo to verify.
A must on Public International Law: This book is one of several "must have" while doing a serious investigation on international law. This is the best way to start. It covers most of the aspects of international law, from Sources of Law to Space Law and International Environmental Law.
