Reviews

"Lucid, balanced, and tightly reasoned, Rozell's excellent book provides needed guidance on a topic that bedevils every administration." Political Science Quarterly "Ought to be mandatory reading not only for every member of Congress but also for national security lawyers in both the Legislative and Executive branches." ABA National Security Law Report "For an American people who (apparently) must be their president's keeper, this book is essential reading." Rhetoric & Public Affairs"
