520 1 $a"Jack Goldsmith's duty as head of the Office of Legal Counsel was to advise President Bush what he could and could not do ... legally. Goldsmith took the job in October 2003 and began to review the work of his predecessors. Their opinions were the legal framework governing the conduct of the military and intelligence agencies in the war on terror, and he found many - especially those regulating the treatment and interrogation of prisoners - that were deeply flawed." "Goldsmith is a conservative lawyer who understands the imperative of averting another 9/11. But his insistence that we respect the law put him on a collision course with powerful figures in the administration. Goldsmith compares President Bush's response to 9/11 with the parallel legal crises in the Lincoln and Roosevelt administrations. And he shows why President Bush's failure to match his determination to thwart the terrorists with an equal determination to elicit trust and cooperation from the other institutions of our government has damaged his presidency and, perhaps, the ability of future presidents to respond forcefully in time of crisis."--BOOK JACKET.
