<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The Lawgivers' Struggle explains how the U.S. Congress exercises its constitutional authorities to formulate and shape American national security policy, sometimes in support of administration priorities and sometimes in opposition to them. Drawing on the author's experiences as a congressional staffer working for the House Armed Services Committee, it describes the processes that Congress uses and the tools it has as its disposal to wield influence in national security decisions. The book illuminates the legislative process, explaining the "how" and "why" of congressional decision making. It describes the dynamic that characterizes the relationship between the executive and legislative branches of government and the historical origins of the power struggle between the branches that continues to this day. The book serves as a valuable resource for students, government professionals, and everyday American citizens who wish to better understand how their government works"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This book is intended to strip away the mythology that often colors the discussion regarding Congress' true role innational security decision making. It draws on literature by constitutional scholars and others, as well as information gleaned from my personal experiences working both on Capitol Hill as a Professional Staff Member on the House Armed Services Committee, and at the Pentagon in senior policy positions under two administrations. It is intended not only to inform and educate, but to clarify many of the seemingly arcane and indecipherable practices that Congress uses to enact its priorities, especially in the area of national security.</p>
