Review

"A valuable, at times gripping, account and analysis of the crimes committed by various US government agencies and officers in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy." -- David Kauzlarich, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

"Michael Welch was one of the first scholars to grasp the enormity of the implications for law and international relations of the American response to the attacks of September 11th. This volume offers a critical and disturbing insight into the ways in which our world has changed irrevocably since those attacks." -- Conor Gearty, London School of Economics

From the Inside Flap

Since 9/11, a new configuration of power situated at the core of the executive branch of the U.S. government has taken hold. In Crimes of Power & States of Impunity, Michael Welch takes a close look at the key historical, political, and economic forces shaping the country's response to terror.
