Sobre este artículo
Norwalk, Connecticut: Easton Press, 2010. Full-Leather. New/None. Volume has been removed from its original shrinkwrap to make sure it was signed and not the one that was missed. This is indeed a signed copy and is number 628 of 950 signed first limited editions. It includes the certificate of authenticity issued by Easton Press that is also signed and witnessed by the author. It also includes a note about the book and its author. The features of the work include, but are not limited to: 22kt gold accents carefully stamped onto the 'hubbed" spine, acid-neutral pages that are Smyth-sewn into the binding, moire-fabric endsheets and a satin-ribbon page marker, gilded page ends to seal out humidity and dust. A very nice copy.
Sinopsis
A groundbreaking examination of how the atomic bomb profoundly altered the nature of American democracy. In Bomb Power , bestselling author Garry Wills presents a blistering critique of excessive executive power and official secrecy, drawing a direct line from the Manhattan Project to the usurpations of George W. Bush. He reveals how the atomic bomb transformed our nation down to its deepest constitutional roots-by dramatically increasing the power of the modern presidency and redefining the government as a national security state-leaving us in a state of continuous war alert for nearly seven decades. Bold and incisive, Bomb Power casts the history of the postwar period in a new light and sounds an alarm about the continued threat to our Constitution.
