Terrorism: Documents of International and Local Control is a hardbound series that provides primary-source documents on the worldwide counter-terrorism effort. Chief among the documents collected are transcripts of Congressional testimony, reports by such federal government bodies as the Congressional Research Service and the Government Accountability Office, and case law covering issues related to terrorism. Most volumes carry a single theme, and inside each volume the documents appear within topic-based categories. The series also includes a subject index and other indices that guide the user through this complex area of the law. With the addition of commentary from a prominent member of the U.S. national security establishment, Professor Douglas C. Lovelace, this series becomes the premiere resource for an informative and analytical discourse on terrorism and how it continues to have a catastrophic effect on our society.

In Terrorism Intelligence: What We Know and How We Know It, Professor Lovelace explores one of the most hotly debated issues in the current era of U.S. history: the extent of the President's war powers. Lovelace has selected the key Executive Branch and Congressional documents related to this issue and provides both a general introduction to the topic and specific commentary on the documents themselves. This volume addresses not just the President's powers in waging war overseas but also the legal basis for his domestic conduct of the war on terror, particularly in the realm of domestic surveillance. By reviewing both the text of those documents and Lovelace's expert analysis of them, researchers will gain a thorough understanding of the ways in which the Bush Administration and Congress have expanded Executive Branch power.
