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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666235949344,"sku":"NEW0143118684","price":18.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61IU_7WbwqL.jpg?v=1778925128","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/bomb-power-the-modern-presidency-and-the-national-security-state-0143118684","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
