Reviews

"Presidential Policies on Terrorism is a thorough and thoughtful analysis of counterterrorism tools from Reagan to Obama. Starr-Deelen explores fundamental issues of the principles that guide the allocation of power over foreign affairs and the role of all three branches in safeguarding constitutional government. She draws on insightful interviews with scholars and policymakers from within the intelligence community." - Louis Fisher, Scholar in Residence, The Constitution Project, USA and author of Presidential War Powers
