This comprehensive history traces the use of sanctions from WWI to the present day, revealing how they were adopted as an instrument of peacekeeping by the League of Nations and how their unintended consequences have been tremendous.

With extensive archival research in political, economic, legal, and military history, Mulder's book provides a nuanced understanding of why sanctions are widely considered a form of war and how they have destabilized the international system rather than fortifying it.
