Constitution: government & the state; Political control & freedoms; Legal history

In the aftermath of 9/11, President Bush declared that the struggle against terrorism would be nothing less than a war-a war that would require new tools and a new mind-set. As legal sanction was given to covert surveillance and interrogation tactics, internal struggles brewed over programs and policies that threatened to tear at the constitutional fabric of the country.

Bush's Law is the alarming account of the White House's efforts to prevent the publication of Eric Lichtblau's expose on warrantless wiretapping-and an authoritative examination of how the Bush administration employed its ""war on terror"" to mask the most radical remaking of American justice in generations.

Reviews for Bush's Law: The Remaking of American Justice

Even readers who have followed the Bush administration's legalistic contortions...may be unnerved by Lichtblau's recounting of the human dramas behind the stories of laws broken and ignored. -- The New York Times Book Review Jam packed with details.... Bush's Law reminds us that our constitutional rights are fragile.... Chilling. -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Gripping.... At a time when the press's role in American democracy is being hotly contested, this book provides an inspiring example of reporters doing what they do best. -- The New York Times
