Book SynopsisTrade ReviewPohlman has done something very useful: provided a carefully edited selection of briefs, argument transcripts, and other materials bearing on the major terrorism cases that have been decided since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. These materials provide essential background to understanding a series of cases that deal with fundamental issues of civil liberties and national security. -- Richard A. Posner, U.S. Circuit Judge

H.L. Pohlman's careful selection and editing of materials makes it possible for readers to understand the complex legal issues arising out of the war on terrorism, and, even more important, to evaluate the legal arguments and come to their own conclusions about how our Constitution should respond to the realities of the twenty-first century. -- Mark Tushnet, William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law, Harvard Law School
