A groundbreaking examination of how the atomic bomb profoundly
altered the nature of American democracy. Look out for a new book
from Garry Wills, What the Qur'an Meant, coming fall 2017. In Bomb
Power, bestselling author Garry Wills presents a blistering
critique of excessive executive power and official secrecy, drawing
a direct line from the Manhattan Project to the usurpations of
George W. Bush. He reveals how the atomic bomb transformed our
nation down to its deepest constitutional roots-by dramatically
increasing the power of the modern presidency and redefining the
government as a national security state-leaving us in a state of
continuous war alert for nearly seven decades. Bold and incisive,
Bomb Power casts the history of the postwar period in a new light
and sounds an alarm about the continued threat to our Constitution.
