Since the early twentieth century, America has almost
constantly been engaged in some form of overseas armed
conflict. Dudziak argues that policy makers and the American
public nevertheless continue to view wars as temporary
events that eventually give way to normal peace times. This
tendency has troubling consequences for our legal system and
our rights as citizens. This inventive and thoughtful
analysis advocates a new paradigm that acknowledges war's
role as an ongoing feature of American law and democracy.
