Summary:
The book highlights the basic fundamentals of national security and homeland security law for law students and attorneys and masters students who will actually be practicing in the area or handling national security cases. It first reviews famous cases such as the Rosenberg's prosecution, the Pentagon Papers and terrorist cases such as the Embassy bombing and additional Al Qaeda cases--the key elements behind the offenses of treason, espionage, export control, and terrorism prosecutions. It then examines in depth domestic and foreign electronic wire interception and search and seizure, including the latest Supreme Court cases. It also has a major section on Congressional versus Executive war power (covering the Gulf Wars, Balkans, Libya and Syria) and the government's ability to act in a crisis as reflected in Milligan, Korematsu, Youngstown Sheet and Pandemic litigation. New to this edition are important recent cases, including Humanitarian Law Project v. Holder, Jones, Riley, Carpenter, Rigmaiden, Cotterman, Aldawsari, and Mohamud. Many of these relate to foreign and domestic electronic surveillance. There are new sections on border and immigration law and the biological hazard threat and an updated section on the war powers to cover President Obama's and President Trump's actions in the Middle East, including Libya and Syria and utilization of drones and satellites against U.S. citizens.--Publisher.
