This book offers a history of extradition cases as well as a general discussion of extradition. "Extradition means the transfer of someone from one country to another for the purpose of prosecution or punishment for an offense of which they have been convicted. In general, extradition is only possible if there is an extradition agreement between the two countries in question. ...Individual countries also have specific rules about extradition. Most nations do not allow extradition for the purpose only of criminal investigation. Most nations also require some proof of guilt of the person requested. They also require that the alleged offense be punishable as a crime in the rested nation." -from The Authors' Introduction
