Best Introduction to International Law

I am an experienced lawyer with no background in international law. I had read the 2d edition of Janis' book some years ago and was looking for a more comprehensive treatment. I started with Shaw's book and found the writing turgid (to use a turgid work) and then tried Brownlie's, which was somewhat better but didn't seem worth the effort. (Brownlie authored a chapter in the present book.) This book is just right. Well organized, comprehensive, and clearly written. As with most edited works, the chapters vary in quality, but even in the weaker ones the topic is adequately covered.
