Rezensionen

"For those unfamiliar with these four [Supreme Court] detainee cases, Presidential Power in Action is an excellent introduction. It explains the complex issues clearly while showing how limited the impact of these seemingly strong rulings were. This also makes it useful for those interested in the implementation of Supreme Court decisions." - The Law and Politics Book Review

"Darren Wheeler'svolume effectively, and at times alarmingly, illustrates deep lessons about the exercise of unilateral powers and the design of our system of checks and balances." - William G. Howell, Associate Professor, Harris School of Public Policy
