2 Professor O’Connell’s concern with problems of state sucession has not inhibited his productivity in other, even unrelated fields, including the authorship of a widely used two-volume treatise on International Law (Stevens-Oceana, 1965) and a biography of Cardinal Richelieu (Weidenfeld and Nicholson, 1968)Google ScholarPubMed.
