Tuck traces the development of political thought on war and peace from the 17th to the 18th century, focusing on influential thinkers such as Hugo Grotius and Immanuel Kant. This comprehensive book sheds light on the ethical and legal dimensions of civil liberties in the context of international relations and provides valuable insights into the challenges of maintaining peace and protecting individual rights in a globalized world.
