Unfortunately, it is marred significantly by his inability to stay objective. It's fine to include your own analysis, but only if you fairly present the other side of the argument, which Schabas just cannot do. For example, he often trashes the US actions regarding the court, but he never once presents the American rationale. I don't expect him to agree with every argument the US makes (I certainly don't), but I do expect a fair presentation of it. Review: A very useful textbook and a great read.

Good but fundamentally flawed
Schabas does a good job, overall, of covering his subject: introducing the ICC. Unfortunately, it is marred significantly by his inability to stay objective. It's fine to include your own analysis, but only if you fairly present the other side of the argument, which Schabas just cannot do.
