Waging War; The Clash Between Presidents and Congress 1776 to ISIS

201683232New York: Simon & Schuster 2016. First Edition stated presumed first printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. xiv 560 2 pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. David Jeremiah Barron born July 7 1967 is a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and former S. William Green Professor of Public Law at Harvard Law School. He previously served as the Acting Assistant Attorney General of the Office of Legal Counsel at the United States Department of Justice. Barron is known for his controversial legal memo justifying the use of lethal drone strikes against U.S. citizens without judicial process. Barron joined the Harvard Law School faculty as an assistant professor in 1999 and became a professor in 2004. He left the faculty upon his confirmation to the Court of Appeals in 2014. In 2016 Simon & Schuster published his book Waging War: The Clash Between Presidents and Congress 1776 to ISIS. In February 2017 Barron was named the winner of Norwich University's 2017 Colby Award which is awarded for works that make major academic contributions to the understanding of military history intelligence activities and foreign relations. Several senators pledged to oppose Barron's nomination unless the administration publishes the secret memos Barron authored on the legality of killing American citizens with drone strikes. Until senators began raising concerns about Barron's nomination only those on the Judiciary and Intelligence committees had seen any of the classified memos. On May 22 2014 the Senate voted 53-45 for final confirmation to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He received his judicial commission on May 23 2014. This work contains a substantial section pages 185-200 on Theodore Roosevelt and American expansionism. A timely account of a raging debate: The history of the ongoing struggle between the presidents and Congress over who has the power to declare and wage war. The Constitution states that it is Congress that declares war but it is the presidents who have more often taken us to war and decided how to wage it. In Waging War David J. Barron opens with an account of George Washington and the Continental Congress over Washington's plan to burn New York City before the British invasion. Congress ordered him not to and he obeyed. Barron takes us through all the wars that followed: 1812 the Mexican War the Civil War the Spanish-American war World Wars One and Two Korea Vietnam Iraq and now most spectacularly the War on Terror. Congress has criticized George W. Bush for being too aggressive and Barack Obama for not being aggressive enough but it avoids a vote on the matter. By recounting how our presidents have declared and waged wars Barron shows that these executives have had to get their way without openly defying Congress. Waging War shows us our country's revered and colorful presidents at their most trying times Washington Lincoln Theodore Roosevelt Franklin Roosevelt Truman Eisenhower John F. Kennedy Johnson both Bushes and Obama. Their wars have made heroes of some and victims of others but most have proved adept at getting their way over reluctant or hostile Congresses. The next president will face this challenge immediately and the Constitution and its fragile system of checks and balances will once again be at the forefront of the national debate.
