A classic and bestselling work by one of America's top
Constitutional scholars, "Presidential War Power" garnered the lead
review in the "New York Times Book Review" and raised essential
issues that have only become more timely, relevant, and
controversial in our post-9/11 era.
In this third edition, Louis Fisher updates his arguments
throughout, critiques the presidential actions of George W. Bush
and Barack Obama, and challenges what he views as their dangerous
expansion of executive power. Spanning the life of the Republic
from the Revolutionary Era to the War on Terror, the new edition
covers for the first time:
Indefinite detention of civilians and non-civilians without
trial
-President Obama's failed effort to close Guantanamo
-NSA wiretapping and Fourth Amendment violations
-Presidential decision-making relating to the wind-down of the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
-U.S. military operations against Libya in 2011
-Continued abuse of the state secrets privilege in national
security court cases
-Secret legal memos justifying the use of UAVs or drones for
targeted killings overseas
-Extended comparison of the expansion of executive power under
George W. Bush and Barack Obama"
