On September 11, 2001, while America reeled from the day's events, and the majority of official Washington, D.C. evacuated, John Yoo and a skeletal staff of the Office of Legal Counsel stayed behind. The attacks called for a response, but the president's legal authority to act was unclear. In War by Other Means, Yoo offers an insider account of the personalities, on-the-ground facts, and legal basis behind the President's decisions.
