Ronald Reagan's term in office was punctuated by four significant
employments of military force: the deployment of Marines to
Lebanon; the intervention in Grenada; the air strikes against
Libya; and the deployment of naval forces to the Persian Gulf. In
the aftermath of each of these military operations, critics
questioned the constitutional basis for such unilateral
presidential war-making, arguing that Congress alone is empowered
to declare war. Debates over whether the President failed to comply
with the statutory requirements of the War Powers Resolution
further complicated these constitutional disagreements. In The
Reagan Wars, David Hall seeks to overcome a key source of confusion
in these heated debates-the failure to distinguish between the
wisdom of Reagan's actions and their legality. He demonstrates that
the circumstances under which the Constitution permits unilateral
presidential war-making were present when President Reagan waged
war between 1980 and 1988. Hall first considers the thinking of the
Constitution's Framers on the question of war powers and the
subsequent two hundred years of judicial interpretation regarding
the proper balance between congressional and presidential authority
to make war. In light of this historical background, he then
closely examines the facts and the legal circumstances of each of
the four "Reagan wars." Hall's thought-provoking conclusions
deserve the attention of anyone interested in the role of the
Constitution in U.S. foreign policy-making.

Digital pirates, particularly in China, steal and resell hundreds
of billions of dollars worth of intellectual property each year.
CRACK99 is an edge-of-the-seat account of the United States Justice
Department's prosecution of the biggest cybercriminal operation to
date. On a cheesy website called CRACK99, Xiang Li sold everything
from satellite tracking and aviation simulation to communications
systems design software for knock-down prices. When David Locke
Hall and his team started buying CRACK99's products, the hunt for
this elusive pirate began. After earning Xiang's trust, Hall's team
met Xiang on Saipan, where the sting was nearly foiled before Xiang
was captured, flown to the US and prosecuted. An eye-opening look
at the dark side of cybercrime and the chilling consequences for
technology and national security, CRACK99 reads like a caper-only
it's true in every riveting detail.
