The War on Civil Liberties How Bush and Ashcroft have dismantled The Bill of Rights

Via the USA PATRIOT Act, the Homeland Security Act, and dozens of lesser-known laws and executive orders, Bush, Ashcroft, and compliant Congress and courts have all but dismantled the Bill of Rights. This book, written by a practicing attorney and professor of law, chronicles the major battles of this war (addressing all the "terrorism" trials to date)?against attorneys, Muslim charities, immigrants, and "enemy combatants" (including American citizens and the prisoners in Guantánamo Bay). It surveys the soldiers on the other side of this war?the growing grassroots dissent against the efforts of the Administration.
"This timely book takes readers behind the headlines and into a brave new world of summary deportations, vengeful prosecutions, and imperiled freedoms. In clear, accessible language, Elaine Cassel shows how this assault on constitutional law affects everyone?not just Arabs, Muslims, immigrants anti-war activists, and all the usual suspects?and alerts readers as to what they can do to defend our freedoms." ?Roger N.
