Reviews
"An important book that I wish every member of Congress and would-be president would carefully study."--George McGovern, "A timely and valuable study that makes a useful contribution to preserving the Constitution and our hopes for survival."-- Journal of American History, "A most thorough study. . . . It would be useful if this book could be prescribed to our decision-makers as required reading."--Louis B. Sohn, University of Georgia School of Law, " To Chain the Dog of War does an excellent job of putting together some very complex material, and it comes out at a most propitious time."--Arthur S. Miller, Professor of Law, George Washington University, "Wormuth and Firmage--both distinguished scholars of American constitutional law--have crafted a careful, comprehensive, sharply focused, and biting scholarly review of the congressional and executive use of the war powers."--Howard Ball, author of Justice Downwind: America's Atomic Testing Program in the 1950s
