The Lawyers' War

The election of Donald Trump as president of the United States has stunned the nation and the world and raised several critically important issues of U.S. government policy. The stakes could not be higher: in the balance hang national security, democratic accountability, the rule of law, civil liberties, and the very nature of the republic. Two recent books can help navigate these vital issues: Charlie Savage’s Power Wars and Karen Greenberg’s Rogue Justice.

"The Lawyers' War" is from the January/February 2017 issue of Foreign Affairs.
