The Drafting of the Covenant is a definitive record and historical analysis of the creation of the League of Nations' foundational document. Written by David Hunter Miller, a legal expert who participated directly in the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, this work provides a meticulous, step-by-step account of how the Covenant was negotiated and formulated. It explores the diplomatic tensions, legal hurdles, and idealistic visions that characterized the aftermath of World War I.

The text examines the various drafts, proposals, and debates involving key figures like Woodrow Wilson, detailing the evolution of international law and the quest for collective security. By documenting the procedural and substantive challenges of building a new global order, The Drafting of the Covenant remains an essential resource for students of international relations, history, and law. It captures a pivotal moment in 20th-century diplomacy, offering profound insights into the structural origins of modern international organizations and the complexities of maintaining global peace through institutional cooperation.
