Congress at War: The Politics of Conflict Since 1789 by Charles A. Stevenson - JK339.S74 2007
"Congress at War provides a comprehensive historical overview of how the United States Congress has dealt with the military instrument of statecraft from A to Z, including declaring and terminating hostilities, raising and funding forces, specifying strategy, and conducting oversight. Based on the author's decades of work on Capitol Hill, this book wraps more than two centures of experience into a concise account. Readers seeking a quick overview of congressional praxis could hardly do better." -- Terry Deibel, Professor of National Strategy, Department of National Security Policy, National War College
