Understanding Congress and war powers in a changing world
This book presents a detailed look at how the U.S. legislative and executive branches argue over the use of American forces abroad, from the Gulf War to U.N. peacekeeping efforts. It shows how historical ideas about power, rights, and governance shape today’s decisions.

The text highlights real debates about accountability, legitimacy, and the necessity of educating the public on international commitments.
