Forthcoming titles of particular interest include Marjorie Cohn’s The United States and Torture: Interrogation, Incarceration, and Abuse; Jonathan Hafetz’s Habeas Corpus After 9/11; Austin Sarat and Nasser Hussain’s When Governments Break the Law: The Rule of Law and the Prosecution of the Bush Administration; David Garland et al.’s America’s Death Penalty: Between Past and Present; Jonathan M. Metzl and Anna Kirkland’s Against Health: How Health Became the New Morality; and Michael Perelman’s The Invisible Handcuffs of Capitalism: How Market Tyranny Stifles the Economy by Stunting Workers.
