The United States Constitution's provisions for selecting, replacing, and punishing presidents contain serious weaknesses that could lead to constitutional controversies. In this compelling and fascinating book, Brian Kalt envisions six such controversies, such as the criminal prosecution of a sitting president, a two-term president's attempt to stay in power, the ousting of an allegedly disabled president, and more. None of these things has ever occurred, but in recent years many of them almost have. Besides being individually dramatic, these controversies provide an opportunity to think about how constitutional procedures can best be designed, interpreted, and repaired. Also, because the events Kalt describes would all carry enormous political consequences, they shed light on the delicate and complicated balance between law and politics in American government.

L'ancien séminariste géorgien Joseph Djougachvili, devenu tour à tour conspirateur, révolutionnaire, apparatchik et despote sanguinaire, n'avait rien a priori d'un homme de guerre. Depuis les actions séditieuses au Caucase jusqu'aux grandes manoeuvres de la guerre civile, ses incursions dans le domaine militaire ont été généralement calamiteuses, et ses purges des années trente se sont avérées plus dévastatrices pour le commandement des forces armées que n'importe quel conflit dans l'histoire du monde. D'où vient dès lors que ce "communiste habillé en maréchal" ait pu sortir en grand vainqueur de la Seconde Guerre mondiale? Par un récit accompagné de nombreuses photographies, cartes et illustrations, on mesurera combien la ruse, la propagande et la terreur peuvent suppléer à l'aveuglement diplomatique et à l'amateurisme stratégique.
