Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The thesis of this book is that our modern Presidents have hijacked Congress's constitutional war-making powers, making themselves the 'kings of war.' Under the Constitution, only Congress has the power to declare war. However, beginning with President Truman, our Presidents have claimed the 'inherent' power as commanders in chief to commit the nation to war without congressional authorization. This power grab has had a profound effect on the balance of power between Congress and the presidency. It is the key ingredient in our current 'executive-centric' national government. The book first explores how and why this happened. It begins with an historical account of the Constitutional Convention's treatment of the war-making power and the system adopted by the framers that divided the responsibilities between Congress (which decided whether war should be conducted) and the President (who conducted the war, subject to Congress's on-going power of the purse). There is a major chapter on the Northwest Indian War, under the Washington administration, which was the first war fought under the Constitution. Washington presided at the Constitutional Convention and believed that the decision to go to war was committed to Congress. Accordingly, as that war unfolded, Washington repeatedly went to Congress to request the resources he needed to fight the war. The book then explores the drastic change in that system beginning with President Truman's unilateral decision to commit the nation to war on the Korean Peninsula, and its development through the Cold War, the Vietnam War and finally President George W. Bush's most aggressive claim to the President's war powers in the invasion of Iraq in 2003. There is also a chapter on the special constitutional challenges presented by the advent of nuclear weapons. The book ends with an analysis of the factors that have allowed the presidency's power grab and proposes a legislative agenda to restore the war powers system to the one enshrined in the Constitution.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Terry L. Mather wrote Thy Kingdom Come Through the Generations to advance the kingdom Come, or the story of Christ, to all who want to plant a seed of Christ for their families and those in search for a realistic method of dealing with this so-called life of man on earth versus the life that God has created for us to live. We sometimes make that transition impenetrable when is really very simple and easy to find the way.Thy Kingdom Come Through the Generations attempts to demonstrate that we're all normal humans-who have normal human sins, doubts, and worries. This does not alter or diminish our chance for an eternal relationship with God-quite the opposite! God knows of our weaknesses and only desires that we have faith in the resurrection of Christ and admit our failings. He has done the rest.…

Neuware - 'Letters to Imogene' provides detailed behind-the-scenes accounts of some of the well known and lesser known battles of World War II, including campaigns in North Africa, Sicily, Normandy and Northern Europe.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is the true story of a 17-year-old kid who quit high school in his junior year to join the Marines. After a short cruise with the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean, he was assigned to a rifle company in Vietnam during the heaviest fighting of the war in 1967 and 1968. He went to Vietnam eager to save the world from Communism, only to become disillusioned by the lack of progress in the field, and mentally exhausted from the intensity of the ground combat. Returning in shock from what he had seen and done, he was assigned to the most prestigious Marine ceremonial detachment in the world: the Special Ceremonial Platoon located at the oldest post of the Corps, Marine Barracks at 8th and I Streets in Washington, DC. As part of this unit, he served at the White House under two Presidents, and at ceremonial duties all over DC. The contrast from the jungle of Vietnam was startling. While fighting constant nightmares of combat, he stood before Presidents, politicians, celebrities and heads of state, all the while maintaining the dignity and poise required for his position. This book is honest, graphic, and yet enlightening, ending positively. For those interested in understanding the Marine Corps and the horror of personal, ground combat, contrasted with the bright lights and facades of Washington politics, this book will not disappoint. Reading Rick's chapters on 'The Barracks,' (8th & I), rekindled many fond-and not so fond-memories of our time together. I was a fresh-caught second lieutenant charged with the almost impossible task of transforming combat Marines into ceremonial perfectionists. For a Marine to leave the mud and blood of Vietnam and report to the most fabled and oldest post of the Corps was something not every Marine could handle physically or emotionally. Rick's reaction to the trauma and how he succeeded reminds me of the song Tin Man by America: 'But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man that he didn't, didn't already have.' I believe no one gave Rick anything he didn't already have. He survived that transition with little help from anyone because he is that kind of Marine. To become one of a nine-man section responsible for the Marine Corps' official colors and all presentations throughout the nation's capital is something only a few Marines can own. For those fortunate enough to have watched a Friday Night Parade, Rick's vivid description makes that 'MGM Production' come to life. No Marine leaves 'The Barracks' untouched by the significance of it all-Richard W. Foster, Jr. is living proof of that! -Colonel Jim Bathurst , US Marine Corps (Ret).…
