Descriere Bomb Power: The Modern Presidency and the National Security State - Garry Wills

A groundbreaking examination of how the atomic bomb profoundly altered the nature of American democracy. \nLook out for a new book from Garry Wills, What the Qur'an Meant, coming fall 2017. \n \n In Bomb Power, bestselling author Garry Wills presents a blistering critique of excessive executive power and official secrecy, drawing a direct line from the Manhattan Project to the usurpations of George W. Bush. He reveals how the atomic bomb transformed our nation down to its deepest constitutional roots-by dramatically increasing the power of the modern presidency and redefining the government as a national security state-leaving us in a state of continuous war alert for nearly seven decades. Bold and incisive, Bomb Power casts the history of the postwar period in a new light and sounds an alarm about the continued threat to our Constitution.\n
