Sommario/riassunto

The United States Supreme Court framed a unique legal doctrine on foreign seizure of American-owned property in the case of  Banco Nacional de Cuba v. Sabbatino in 1963. This ruling has far-reaching implications for international law, American foreign policy, and the role of the Court in both domestic and international arenas of power. Disagreeing with the Court's decisions, Eugene F. Mooney undertakes to place the Act of State Doctrine in its proper historical, jurisprudential, and political perspective.Mooney argues forcefully that the dogmatic application of the Act of State Doctrine is ind

Sommario/riassunto

'The Frontier Club' is Christine Bold's name for the network of eastern aristocrats who created the western as we now most commonly know it. At the turn of the twentieth century, they yoked this most popular formula to their own elite causes - from big-game hunting to conservation, immigration restriction to Jim Crow segregation - and aligned themselves with cattle kings and 'quality' publishers. This book tells the story of that cultural sleight-of-hand.
