Jackson's advisory relationship with President Franklin D. Roosevelt, particularly with respect to matters of national security on the eve of World War II. Jackson was the US Solicitor General for two years (1938-1940) and US Attorney General for a little over one year (1940-1941) before serving as an associate justice of the US Supreme Court. He was involved in a number of important political and legal events in the twentieth century, including serving as the chief US prosecutor at the Nuremberg war crimes trials. In this book William Casto focuses on Jackson's role as a legal adviser to the president during a time of war, in which he often had to weigh in on highly controversial policies, including the use of wiretapping. Traditional legal theory assumes a disinterested application of the law, but the position of attorney general placed Jackson in a complex situation that did not conform to a simply dichotomy between lawful and unlawful. Jackson made a distinction in practice between his personal advice to the president and his public advocacy in support of the president's decisions. Casto's study of Jackson offers valuable lessons for attorney advisers today and sheds light on recent controversial episodes, such as Jay Bybee and John Yoo's infamous advice to President George W. Bush regarding the use of torture"--Provided by the publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Mr. Solicitor General -- Wiretapping -- An arsenal for democracy -- Destroyers for bases -- Destroyers for bases : a critique -- Plant seizures -- Presidential prerogative and judicial review -- Lend-lease -- Policy advice -- Conclusion. 600 10 $a Jackson, Robert H., $d 1892-1954. 610 10 $a United States. $b Solicitor General $v Biography. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Franklin D. $q (Franklin Delano), $d 1882-1945. 600 17 $a Jackson, Robert H., $d 1892-1954. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01898296 600 17 $a Roosevelt, Franklin D. $q (Franklin Delano), $d 1882-1945. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00032031 610 17 $a United States. $b Solicitor General. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00619146 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 $a Attorneys general $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a National security $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a War and emergency powers $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Executive power $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1933-1945. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Law and legislation $z United States. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021020804.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502032110.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E90E7A6A3F1711E98434DF6697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
