Summary

"Marcus's book continues to be the only extended discussion of the Steel Strike incident. Truman's seizure of the steel companies and the subsequent litigtation remain an important historical episode with contemporary implications for executive power cases."-- G. Edward White, University of Virginia School of Law "Although there have been some other articles and books on the "Youngstown" case, this book remains definitive. The author handles a variety of materials exceedingly well, and shows great sensitivity not only to the legal issues involved, but to the political ones as well. It is a model case study."--Melvin I. Urofsky, Virginia Commonwealth University
