A striking assessment of how the Constitution has
been stretched, distorted, and violated to accommodate the drive to
empire from Jefferson's day to our own. An insightful analysis and
rousing history, WAR POWERS examines a fundamental question in the
development of the American empire: What constraints does the
Constitution place on our territorial expansion, military
intervention, occupation of foreign countries, and on the power the
president may exercise over American foreign policy. PETER IRONS is a former professor at University California, San Diego and the author of numerous works, including A People’s History of the Supreme Court. His writings have earned him an unprecedented five Silver Gavel Awards from the American Bar Association. Please feel free to call us and we'll reserve a copy of this book if you can't attend. |
