"Roy is at his most incisive when setting out the legal case against the many unprecedented aspects of the Helms-Burton bill, striking just the right balance between complex legal argumentation ad accessibility for the general reader. An excellent primer for those who need to come to grips with this disturbing and ill conceived piece of legislation. " - International Affairs

"[It] is likely to become the academic centerpiece of the debate over the continued efficacy of the Helms-Burton legislation, at a time when the Bush Administration will face the implementation decision inherited from the Clinton Administration. It is thus a "must" for any collection on International Law or International Relations." American Society of International Law
