Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[This book provides an overview] of the intellectual evolution of international law in Spain from the late 18th century to the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War. [The author] recounts the history of the two 'renaissances' of Francisco de Vitoria and the Spanish classics of international law and contextualizes the ideological glorification of the Salamanca School by Franco's international lawyers. Historical excursuses on the intellectual evolution of international law in the US and the UK complement the neglected history of international law in Spain from the first empire in history on which the sun never set to a diminished and fascistized national-Catholicist state."--
