About the Book

As we move toward trials challenging the legitimacy of the Bush administration's use of detentions in Guantanamo and elsewhere, Roosevelt's response to the captured Germans - military tribunals, a secret trial, and hasty executions - offers a cautionary tale of the danger of unchecked executive power in a time of crisis. The best kind of historical non-fiction: a rollicking narrative driven by the personality of the central character: the brilliant trial attorney Kenneth Royall, designated to represent the Germans, who took on the President of the United States and the Supreme Court.

About the Author :
Pierce O'Donnell has been named one of the "100 Most Influential Lawyers in America" by the National Law Journal and is coauthor of the bestselling Fatal Subtraction. He lives in Montecito, California. Anthony Lewis, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and former columnist for the New York Times, is James Madison Visiting Professor at Columbia University.

Review :
"A masterful account of how the government and those we rely on to preserve our liberties can fail in moments of crisis. A must read for everyone concerned about preserving our cherished civil liberties in time of national emergency. This is history that speaks to us today." - Arthur R. Miller, Harvard Law School "This thoughtful analysis reviews the numerous mistakes which the United States government has made in the past when war has clouded America's sense of the preciousness and the fragility of the constitutional rights of all citizens. A compelling and prophetic message which deserves the careful attention of every American - Robert F. Drinan, Georgetown University Law Center "A chillingly true story of foreign terrorists who reached American soil almost 60 years before 9/11 and failed in their mission purely by chance. It is a story worth remembering." - Barry Richard, Counsel for President George W. Bush in Bush v. Gore"
