War Time - An Idea, Its History, Its Consequences


 

Since the early twentieth century, America has almost constantly been engaged in some form of overseas armed conflict. Dudziak argues that policy makers and the American public nevertheless continue to view wars as temporary events that eventually give way to normal peace times. This tendency has troubling consequences for our legal system and our rights as citizens. This inventive and thoughtful analysis advocates a new paradigm that acknowledges war's role as an ongoing feature of American law and democracy.
