Product Description
Calls to Arms: Presidential Speeches, Messages, and Declarations of War, edited by Russell D. Buhite, is a collection of presidential messages and speeches that called America to war from John Adams and the Quasi-War with France to Bill Clinton and the intervention in Haiti. The documents included here demonstrate the growth of presidential power and show how Congress responded to each call to arms. The selections also reflect the adherence to constitutional requirements and in the case of undeclared war messages, the evolution of extra-constitutional behavior. In addition, the book provides a sample of the popular responses to calls to arms throughout history and provides a handy reference for studying some of the most memorable presidential speeches. Calls to Arms is an excellent supplemental text for courses on military history, diplomatic history, and Congress and the presidency.
