A thought-provoking and engaging guide to the legal, moral, and
political issues that arise when the United States goes to war.
From the American Revolution to the Bush administration's new type
of war on terror, Waging War on Trial views warfare from a legal,
social, cultural, and political standpoint. Included are homefront
debates during major hostilities, "brushfire" incidents, and how
the events of September 11th have shaped our domestic wartime
policy. The battle continues today as the President and Congress
debate over who begins and ends military operations. Concerns about
civil liberties, the draft, and internal security are as relevant
today as during the Civil War. Questions arise on how dissenters
and minorities are treated and if America can legally control the
behavior of our soldiers. It's an intricate interplay between war
and America's institutions. A-Z entries on key people such as
Oliver Wendell Holmes and Senator Lee Overman, court decisions such
as Abrams v. United States and Schenck v. United States, events
such as the Gulf War, and issues such as the suspension of the writ
of habeas corpus A chronology spanning the history of waging war
from 1792, which saw the formation of the Society of Cincinnatus,
through 2002, with the United States contemplating war with Iraq
