But the book is of much more than historical interest. As they said in Battlestar Galactica: All this has happened before and will happen again. My copy is marked-up where I noted parallels to current immigration and anti-terror laws. ... I highly recommend this book.\" -- Craig Forcese #Sundayscholar Pick, Twitter, Posted May 21, 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: The Exception   Chapter 1: For the Protection of People and State   Chapter 2: Defining Suspects    Chapter 3: The Trial   Chapter 4: Citizens of the World   Chapter 5: Outlaws   Chapter 6: Judgement    Conclusion: Towards a Real State of Exception   Appendix   Notes and Bibliography","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408356614487,"sku":"9781442629578","price":49.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781442629578.jpg?v=1730502572","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/an-exceptional-law-9781442629578","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
