<br> Closely argued and clearly written, this is a scholarly work with popular appeal. <br>--<br><br>ublishers Weekly<p><br>

War Time offers readers a thoughtful discussion of a compelling topic. The book is well written and though the argument is abstract ... Readers will emerge from the book with a new perspective on how war has shaped American history and how the wars America has fought are not merely diplomatic and military events, but rather resonate through all aspects of American life. Michael Marino, Cercles

<br> Closely argued and clearly written, this is a scholarly work with popular appeal. -- Publishers Weekly<p><br> For over a decade since 9/11, U.S. forces have been waging war. Yet is the nation itself 'at war'? In this timely and provocative book, Mary Dudziak shows why this question has become so difficult to answer-and warns of the dangers inherent in our failure to do so. --Andrew J . Bacevich, author of Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War<p><br> War Time turns our notions of both 'war' and 'time' upside down. This thought-provoking book forces us to realize that war is not an exception to 'normal' peacetime, but rather that wartime has become the norm. The implications of perpetual wartime are profound, for law, politics, and daily life. Mary Dudziak has again brought her keen cultural, historical and legal insights to bear on a subject of critical importance. --Elaine Tyler May, Regents Professor, University of Minnesota <br><p><br> Taking law as her focal point

[T]his book is a thought-provoking introduction to the relevant case law and a good read. R. M. Paddags, CHOICE
