Author Description

Excerpt from Effects of War on Property: Being Studies in International Law and Policy The ancient conception of war was wider, and connoted a relation not only between States and hostile subjects, but between subjects and subjects as such. The principle had at any rate the merit of simplicity: all enemies could be slaughtered or enslaved and their property of every species seized wherever found. Physical impossibility was the only limit to a conqueror's greed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
