Wir sind gerne für Sie daOnly the U.S. Congress has the constitutional power to declare war, but from Truman on, commanders in chief have been steadily asserting their right to use armed force. American troops have now fought in half a dozen conflicts-from Korea and Vietnam to Iraq-without a formal congressional declaration of war. In this eye-opening book, military historian Gerald Astor traces the evolution of the commander in chief's war powers, from Korea, where the president committed troops under the sanction of international agreements and the United Nations, to Iraq, where the president attacked a sovereign nation under the doctrine of "preemptive war."
