Benjamin Wittes
LAW AND THE LONG WAR
The Future of Justice in the Age of Terror
“Very simply, this is the best study of the legal
problems arising from the U.S. war on terror.
Whether Wittes is writing on Guantanamo,
habeas corpus, military commissions, electronic surveillance, torture and coercive
interrogation, or preventive detention, he
is invariably illuminating and thoughtful.”
—Philip Bobbitt, Columbia University.
