`a well-written, and thoroughly researched, comparative account of
the great writ. a valuable study of many difficult doctrinal
conundrums Clark and McCoy take a hard-nosed and pragmatic
approach, firmly rooted in the prevailing reality of the operative
legal and political culture. Clark and McCoy provide a thorough and
lawyerly account of one of the common law's most important
contributions to the protection of human freedom. From this
perspective
the book represents an invaluable resource, providing a thorough
and thoughtful guide to the uses and limits of habeas corpus. The
book makes a significant contribution to comparative constitutional
law'
