Review:
"Persuasive...elegantly argued."
-Walter Isaacson, "The New York Times Book Review"
"A powerful-and sobering-account of the step-by-step creation of government structures, unaccountable to Congress or the people, to conduct 'permanent war in peace.''"
-"The Boston Globe"
""Bomb Power" is pungent, confident, fluid, steeped in learning."
-"Vanity Fair"
"Written in Wills' characteristically accessible style, "Bomb Power" is a well-argued denunciation of our constitutional gatekeepers that is as sad and fascinating as an account of the decline of the Roman republic. ... [Wills's] credentials as a historian are impeccable. His breadth of knowledge is awe inspiring, but he never goes over the reader's head: He is a scholar with the heart of a journalist."
-"The Miami Herald"
"Deeply thought-provoking... A prolific author of astonishing range, Wills...offers a forceful indictment of the 43rd president, and even more of his vice president, Dick Cheney."
-"The San Francisco Chronicle"
"Thought-provoking...compelling."
-"The Los Angeles Times"
"As usual with Wills, provocatively argued and elegantly written."
-"Kirkus"
