"Prize Money" by Philip Quincy Wright is a historical exploration of regulations surrounding captured assets during wartime, particularly focusing on naval conflicts. It follows the development of these rules from ancient times, starting with the practices of ancient Greeks, moving through the Middle Ages, and up to the then-modern legal structures of nations like Great Britain. It shows how these legal ideas changed over time and their effect on international law and maritime encounters. The work also looks at how these rules connect to both local and worldwide laws, giving a full view of how prize money was handled throughout history.
