Reviews

Review of the hardback: 'Hersch Lauterpacht was widely and rightly regarded as the greatest international legal scholar of the twentieth century. His brilliant if too brief tenure as a judge of the International Court of Justice matched his scholarly attainments. His son Elihu has now written a superb biography of his father that will attract the admiration of the international legal fraternity of the twenty-first century.' Stephen M. Schwebel, Former President of the International Court of Justice (1981-2000) 'Hersch Lauterpacht is a highly interesting subject, and the biography is well written. It should be of great interest not only to those who are interested in the history of international law, but to anyone who want to understand the travails and motivations of one of its major personalities, whose works still resonate.' Sondre Torp Helmersen , Nordic Journal of International Law
