Book Synopsis
Congress and the president are not the only branches that deal with fiscal issues in times of war. This book focuses on the role of federal courts in fiscal matters during warfare and high-cost national defense emergencies. It sheds light on environmental factors in judicial decision making.

Trade Review
"A significant advance on conventional wisdom about judicial behavior during wartime emergencies. With admirable clarity, Nancy Staudt provides evidence that the judiciary is an active partner in crisis governance - finding ways to put pools of cash at the government's disposal when it does not use its taxing powers aggressively enough." (Eric Posner, University of Chicago Law School)"
