"The Rights of War and Peace is the first fully historical account of the formative period of modern theories of international law. It sets the scene with an extensive history of the theory of international relations from antiquity down to the seventeenth century. Professor Tuck then examines the arguments over the moral basis for war and international aggression, and links the debates to the writings of the great political theorists such as Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Kant."--BOOK JACKET.
First sentence: As I said in the Introduction, the ideas about war and peace which were current in late sixteenth-century Europe fell into two quite sharply differentiated traditions.
