Recensione:
...Brownlie's Principles of Public International Law has established itself as a book of real value and authority for students, academics and practitioners, and Professor Crawford's rigorous work preserves and, in this reviewer's opinion, extends the underlying quality of this classic work. (Samuel Wordsworth QC, Cambridge Journal of International and Comparative Law 2 (2))
The excellence of these new editions of Brierly and Brownlie is unquestionable. Both student and hardened old-hand - and those in between - will find much in them that is challenging and memorable. This reflects the extraordinary abilities of both the original authors and the new editors. The books are also, as before, complementary (and will continue to be found as close companions on the library bookshelf). Anyone coming new to international law who reads both will acquire a rounded picture of the modern role and rules of public international law. Each is highly recommended, indeed essential for any law library. Given their competitive price, they are also suitable additions for any private collection of public international law books. (Omri Sender and Michael Wood, American Journal of International Law)
