Synopsis

Ronald Reagan's term in office was punctuated by four significant employments of military force in Lebanon, Grenada, Libya and the Persian Gulf. Critics questioned the constitutional basis for such unilateral presidential war-making, but they often failed to distinguish between the wisdom of Reagan's actions and their legality. This book seeks to make such a distinction by first reviewing the question of war powers and the subsequent 200 years of judicial interpretation regarding the proper balance between congressional and presidential authority to make war. He then closely examines the facts and the legal circumstances of each of the four "Reagan wars".
