Descirption: Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie Savage's penetrating investigation of the Obama presidency and the national security state

Barack Obama campaigned on changing George W. Bush's "global war on terror" but ended up entrenching extraordinary executive powers, from warrantless surveillance and indefinite detention to military commissions and targeted killings. Then Obama found himself bequeathing those authorities to Donald Trump. How did the United States get here?
In Power Wars, Charlie Savage reveals high-level national security legal and policy deliberations in a way no one has done before. He tells inside stories of how Obama came to order the drone killing of an American citizen, preside over an unprecendented crackdown on leaks, and keep a then-secret program that logged every American's phone calls. Encompassing the first comprehensive history of NSA surveillance over the past forty years as well as new information about the Osama bin Laden raid, Power Wars equips readers to understand the legacy of Bush's and Obama's post-9/11 presidencies in the Trump era.

Review
Praise for POWER WARS:
Power Wars "will almost certainly stand as the most comprehensive account of the Obama administration's policies, vie, theories and bureaucratic battles over national security la and the legacy of the 2001 attacks. His account is thoughtful and consistently fair-minded... no small achievement."―James Mann, New York Times**
Praise for TAKEOVER:
"A masterful work of investigative journalism, Savage's book deserves to be remembered as one of the key texts of the Bush Years."―*San Francisco Chronicle*
"Astute and harrowing ... important reading ... distinguished by his ability to pull together myriad story lines into a succinct, overarching narrative that is energized by his own legal legwork and intervie with key figures... [a] chilling volume."―Michiko Kakutani, *New York Times*
"A gifted reporter's exposition of how and why the Bush administration has conducted itself and of that conduct's disturbing legacy. ... A meticulously reported and lucidly recorded account of the executive quasi-coup that is likely to be this administration's domestic legacy."―*Los Angeles Times*
