It has understandably been overshadowed by the United Nations, that larger, more globally representative body which grew from the League, and which was founded on more unequivocally noble principles in the aftermath of a clear-cut victory of good over evil. But as James Cotton relates in this illuminating account, a surprising number of Australians lent their talents and enthusiasm to this internationalist project, and Australian interests were prominently represented. This deeply researched and carefully realised story will recast understandings of both the League itself and the place within it of prominent interwar Australian internationalists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Cotton\u003c\/b\u003e (PhD, London School of Economics) is Emeritus Professor of Politics, University of New South Wales, ADFA, Canberra, and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Australian School of International Relations\u003c\/i\u003e (2013) and \u003ci\u003eAustralia and the United Nations \u003c\/i\u003e(2012), among numerous other works.
