Highlights from “America’s Double Government: The Hidden Agenda of the National Security State”
Which figures and organizations actually set the tone for American foreign policy? Do Congress and the executive still enjoy their constitutional powers, or has the authority of Madisonian institutions of government been eclipsed by the national security state?
