War Powers Under the Constitution of the United States Military Arrests Reconstruction and Milita
Whiting's influential treatise on the constitutional limits of war powers in the United States was first published in 1862, during the Civil War. Arguing that the president can only exercise war powers in accordance with the strict limits set by the Constitution, Whiting provides a powerful defense of civil liberties and the rule of law. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American political thought and the role of the executive in times of crisis.
