Book reviewed in this article: Wolfgang Friedmann, Law in a Changing Society * 2nd edition * This review was written in August 1972. Scarcely a month later came the shocking news of Friedmann's death at the hands of three young thugs, a few blocks away from New York's Columbia University, where he was professor of international law. This event tragically underlines the very subject of his last work, namely, the importance of law in contemporary society. The world owes a debt of gratitude to Friedmann who left his native Germany as a refugee from the Nazi regime, and subsequently taught law and conducted legal research at several universities in Europe, Australia and North America.
