Calls to Arms: Presidential Speeches, Messages, and Declarations of
War is a collection of presidential messages and speeches that
called America to war from John Adams and the Quasi-War with France
to George W. Bush and the fight against international terrorism in
Afghanistan. The documents included here demonstrate the growth of
presidential power and show how Congress responded to each call to
arms. The selections also reflect the adherence to constitutional
requirements and in the case of undeclared war messages, the
evolution of "extra-constitutional" behavior. In addition, the book
provides a sample of the popular responses to calls to arms
throughout history and provides a handy reference for studying some
of the most memorable presidential speeches. A fascinating
collection of some of the most important speeches in our country's
history, Calls to Arms will appeal to all those interested in
American, diplomatic, and military history.
