Jordan J. Paust Beyond the law: the Bush Administration's unlawful responses in the War on Terror. Cambridge University Press, 2007 KF9625.P38 2007
This book provides a detailed exposition of violations of international law authorized and abetted by secret memos, authorizations, and orders of the Bush administration. It provides the most thorough documentation of cases demonstrating that the president is bound by the laws of war; that decisions to detain persons, decide their status, and mistreat them are subject to judicial review during the war; and that the commander-in-chief power is subject to restraints by Congress.
