Law Without Force is a landmark in political and social philosophy. It proposes nothing less than a completely new basis for international law. As relevant today as when it was first published nearly sixty years ago, it commands the attention of all concerned with what the future may bring to the law of nations. The great scope of Niemeyer's undertaking draws respect even from those who disagree with his challenging analysis of the historical past and his suggestions for the future of international law. In his new introduction, Michael Henry observes that Law Without Force provides us with a foundation of Niemeyer's thinking. Published in 1941, when Hitler was swallowing up Europe, this volume shows how a first-rate mind grappled with a legal, historical, social, and ultimately metaphysical problem. It provides in detail the reasoning behind Niemeyer's rejection of a foreign policy based on morality and his distinction between authoritarian and totalitarian governments; and it provides us with the first stage of his lengthy and prodigious effort to understand "this terrible century." It is a book that no serious student of Niemeyer can afford to ignore. At the very heart of the author's vigorous discussion may be found his rejection of a moral basis for international law and his suggestion that a functional basis should be substituted for it. The book incisively reviews the relation between traditional international law and the changing structure of international politics concluding that the traditional system of law has operated as an agency of disharmony and conflict. After an investigation of the traditional legal system, the author then asks, "What type of law fits the social structure of this modern world?" The answers are presented in the last part of the book, as Neimeyer offers his case for a functional system of law, divorced from moral exhortations or appeals to shattered authority. Philosophy, sociology, and legal theory are brilliantly interwoven in this volume, which will engage serious readers interested in political and social theory.

The Good Man in Society

The essays in this collection have been contributed by students and colleagues of Gerhart Niemeyer to express their esteem for him and for his many years of scholarly and pedagogical accomplishment. To them, Gerhart epitomizes a good man: a man of reason, spirit, and profound faith, a teacher par excellence, a man who has throughout his life labored at the essential human task of achieving practical wisdom and sharing it with others. The essays discuss many of Niemeyer's concerns, from the disorders of modern ideologies and other dislocations of modernity to the relation between faith and order, to public policy, literature, education and the nature of teaching, and the thought of Eric Voegelin. Co-published with the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.

Narco-terrorist Adolfo Zegarra Gálvan, a.k.a. El Moro, kills a deputy sheriff in Yaloquena County, Mississippi, and District Attorney Willie Mitchell Banks seeks the death penalty. The U.S. Justice Department battles Willie Mitchell to take control of the case to get information about El Cartel de Campeche from Zegarra, but Willie Mitchell refuses to turn over the defendant to the feds-he wants capital punishment for the murder of his friend. In the midst of the jurisdictional battle, the powerful drug cartel fights to free Zegarra, but so does another ultraviolent, shadowy group driven by a hatred of America and its culture-a group willing to kill as many Mississippians as necessary to prevent Willie Mitchell's trial of Zegarra-a group dedicated to bringing the criminal justice system to a halt in Mississippi and the entire United States. There's a serious question whether Willie Mitchell can win the murder case against Zegarra-and whether the D.A. will survive the devastating attack on the legal system.

District Attorney Willie Mitchell Banks is the last elected white politician in Yaloquena County, the heart of the Mississippi Delta. On the down slope of life in the town of Sunshine, Willie Mitchell is estranged from his wife and two sons, and disappointed in his career. The Delta has changed on his watch—white people still own the land and have the money, but African-Americans have almost total political power. Black Sheriff Lee Jones convinces his political ally, Willie Mitchell , to prosecute young black mother Takisha Berry for theft. Takisha’s cause is taken up by an up-and-coming black preacher, who accuses the D.A. of racism and organizes a boycott against the local grocery store owned by a wealthy white farmer with close ties to the D.A. The preacher’s protest march on the courthouse gets out of hand, and rioters torch the wealthy farmer’s mansion in the middle of Sunshine. The arrest and prosecution of the riot leader cascades into explosive unintended consequences for the D.A., including allegations of a forbidden romance and the D.A.’s family’s involvement in the town’s tortured racial history. Willie Mitchell forges ahead with the prosecution in the face of attacks on his integrity and allegations of personal involvement in the case. Secret testimony is leaked relating to the unsolved death of a six-year-old black girl years earlier, and leads to a shocking and deadly conclusion in the racial cauldron that is Sunshine, Mississippi.
