H. L. Pohlman is Professor of Political Science; A. Lee Fritschler Professor of Public Policy at Dickinson College. He previously served as Judicial Fellow at the Supreme Court of the United States, Washington, DC.
Pohlman highlights the importance of U.S. national security in
today¹s turbulent world, but he does so without losing sight of the
fundamental fact that civil liberties and human rights are legal
principles at the core of what America stands for.

York Law School and Former President, American Civil Liberties
Union, 1991-2008*
For those trying to understand the complicated development of
national security law, this book may represent the perfect means.
Each chapter combines the substantive heft of primary documents
with narrative explanation whose easy exposition disguises
impressive erudition. In short, Pohlman has gracefully translated
the courtroom to the classroom.
*Andrew Rudalevige, Bowdoin College*
H. L. Pohlman’s U.S. National Security Law is a comprehensive,
clear, and engaging approach to an important aspect of foreign
policy. The volume deftly integrates legal analysis with political
realities, and nicely situates the United States’s legal and
political issues within the broader international legal and
political environments.
