Persuasive...elegantly argued. -Walter Isaacson, The New York Times Book Review A powerful-and sobering-account of the step-by-step creation of government structures, unaccountable to Congress or the people, to conduct 'permanent war in peace.'' -The Boston Globe Bomb Power is pungent, confident, fluid, steeped in learning. -Vanity Fair Written in Wills' characteristically accessible style, Bomb Power is a well-argued denunciation of our constitutional gatekeepers that is as sad and fascinating as an account of the decline of the Roman republic. ... [Wills's] credentials as a historian are impeccable. His breadth of knowledge is awe inspiring, but he never goes over the reader's head: He is a scholar with the heart of a journalist. -The Miami Herald Deeply thought-provoking... A prolific author of astonishing range, Wills...offers a forceful indictment of the 43rd president, and even more of his vice president, Dick Cheney. -The San Francisco Chronicle Thought-provoking...compelling. -The Los Angeles Times As usual with Wills, provocatively argued and elegantly written. -Kirkus
