Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Foreign Policy. In the annals of forgetfulness there is nothing quite to compare with the fading from the American mind of the idea of the law of nations.Grenada. We might have benefited from a weekend's pause in which we could have considered our interests rather than merely giving in to our impulses.The mining of Nicaraguan harbors. A practice of deception mutated into a policy of deceit.Iran-Contra. The idea of international law had faded. But just as important, in the 1980s it had come to be associated with weaknesses in foreign policy. Real men did not cite Grotius.As the era of totalitarianism recedes, the time is at hand to ask by what rules we expect to conduct ourselves, Senator Moynihan writes in this pellucid, and often ironic, examination of international law. Our founding fathers had a firm grasp on the importance and centrality of such law; later presidents affirmed it and tried to establish international institutions based on such high principles; but we lost our way in the fog of the cold war.Moynihan's exploration of American attitudes toward international law--those of presidents, senators, congressmen, public officials, and the public at large--reveals the abiding reverence for a law of nations and the attempts for almost two hundred years to make international law the centerpiece of foreign and strategic policy. Only in the last decade did a shift in values at the highest levels of government change the goals and conduct of the United States.Displaying a firm grasp of history, informed by senatorial insights and investigative data, elegantly written, this book is a triumph of scholarship, interpretation, and insight.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Progressives denounce God and the Bible as an old writ from thousands of years ago, that we need to advance and modernize-God is outmoded they say. Perhaps it is time to set up a new moral code without Him. FOR GOD OR FOR TYRANY shows how mankind digresses every time he takes this route-that evil is the process of us governing others rather than allowing God to govern us. We can either believe that God exists or He simply is nowhere to be found. But God's moral law stands-which we shall prove here. If we remove God, the government will become God. This book will show conclusively that whenever we abandon God, we elevate a collective tyranny into a god. Either God becomes king or a tyrant becomes king. This book equips and trains the inner soul through a journey into history examining some of our downfalls when man thought he was superior, to later only recognize, after the havoc, and only then confess, that the core of his principles was indeed appalling. Today the world is at it again, demanding global unity. But unity under freedom is the process of uniting individuals that disagree, while tyranny is the process of forcing everyone to agree-in unison.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. What would America's Constitutions have looked like if each generation wrote its own? "The earth belongs.to the living, the dead have neither powers nor rights over it." These famous words, written by Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, reflect Jefferson's lifelong belief that each generation ought to write its own Constitution. According to Jefferson each generation should take an active role in endorsing, renouncing, or changing the nation's fundamental law. Perhaps if he were alive today to witness our seething debates over the state of American politics, he would feel vindicated in this belief. Madison's response was that a Constitution must endure over many generations to gain the credibility needed to keep a nation strong and united. History tells us that Jefferson lost that debate. But what if he had prevailed? In A Constitution for the Living, Beau Breslin reimagines American history to answer that question. By tracing the story from the 1787 Constitutional Convention up to the present, Breslin presents an engaging and insightful narrative account of historical figures and how they might have shaped their particular generation's Constitution. Readers are invited to join the Founders in candlelit taverns where, over glasses of wine, they debated fundamental issues; to witness towering figures of American history, from Abraham Lincoln to Booker T. Washington, enact an alternate account through startling and revealing conversations; and to attend a Constitutional Convention taking place in the present day. These possibilities come to life in the book's prose, with sensitivity, verve, and compelling historical detail. This book is, above all, a call for a more engaged American public at a time when change seems close at hand, if we dare to imagine it.…
