Description
However bitter, complex, and urgent today's controversies over executive power may be, Yoo reminds readers that they are nothing new. Here, he explores a factor too little consulted in current debates: the past. Through shrewd and lucid analysis, he shows how the bold decisions made by Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, and FDR changed more than just history; they also transformed the role of the American president.
