"Law of Prize" is a comprehensive and authoritative examination of the legal principles governing the capture of enemy and neutral property at sea during armed conflict. Written by C. John Colombos, a preeminent scholar in maritime law, this work offers an in-depth analysis of the historical development and practical application of prize law, with a particular focus on the significant legal shifts prompted by the First World War.

The text explores the complex jurisdiction and procedures of prize courts, the definitions of contraband, and the rights and duties of belligerent powers. Colombos meticulously details the evolution of international maritime standards, providing clarity on the status of merchant vessels and the doctrine of continuous voyage. By synthesizing historical precedents with contemporary rulings, "Law of Prize" serves as an essential resource for understanding the intersection of naval operations and international jurisprudence.

This scholarly treatise remains a foundational text for students of international law, naval history, and admiralty law. Its rigorous approach to the rights of neutrals and the legitimacy of maritime seizures provides timeless insight into the legal frameworks that seek to regulate the conduct of war on the high seas.
