It provides an important element to understanding the evolution of democracy promotion as we know it today.
It makes a valuable contribution not only to the literature on foreign relations, democracy promotion, and human rights policies during the Reagan administration, but to our understanding of contemporary foreign policy as well. I enjoyed reading this book and grappling with the ideas the author lays out. I especially encourage scholars interested in foreign policy during the Reagan administration to read it.

Samenvatting John Berryman was perhaps the most idiosyncratic American poet of the twentieth century. Known for the painfully sad and raucously funny cycle of Dream Songs, he wrote passionately of love and despair, of grief and laughter, of longing for a better world and coming to terms with this one.
The hardcover publication of The Heart Is Strange, a new selection of his poems, along with reissues of Berryman's Sonnets, 77 Dream Songs, and the complete Dream Songs, marked the centenary of his birth. The Heart Is Strange includes a generous selection from across Berryman's varied career: The defiant joy and wild genius of Berryman's work has been obscured by his struggles with mental illness and alcohol, his tempestuous relationships with women, and his suicide.
This volume, which includes three previously uncollected poems and an insightful introduction by the editor, Daniel Swift, celebrates the whole Berryman: It is a perfect introduction to one of the finest bodies of work produced by an American poet.

This same imagination is reflected beautifully in Berryman's distinctive body of work Berryman is relatively unusual among poets because he's funny. People still don't think funny poets are as important as the non-funny kind.
But Berryman is the proper sort of funny: The Dream Songs is a slapstick Book of Job. But funny as Berryman is, he's a poet of mourning. You find in him remarkable technical command, deep and riddling allusiveness, killer gags and an antic harlequinade of aspects and personae that recalls Looney Toons as much as it does The Waste Land. Or was it by stating with care the extent of our national government's powers, dividing them among the three branches, and by reserving general authority to the states?
Garry's book is a lucid and cogent argument that it is the latter. Combining careful historical research with lucid exposition of Supreme Court cases, Garry shows how the Supreme Court since the New Deal has dismantled much of the founders' deft design, and thus made its own emergence as high protector of liberty almost inevitable. Call it a usurpation or call it progress if you like.
Either way Garry's telling of the story is spot on and timely. An Entrenched Legacy is for specialists and general readers alike. It thesis is important, its prose clear as a bell.
Bradley, Professor of Law, University of Notre Dame Patrick Garry's new book is a brilliant, incisive, and comprehensive account of sweeping--and very troubling--changes in the fundamental structural dimensions of our constitutional practices over the last century. Garry provides illuminating analyses of the Constitution's original structural design for the protection of individual freedom, grounded in the separation of powers and federalism; the Court's retreat from serious enforcement of that structural design in the face of the economic crisis of the Great Depression; and the Court's resulting assumption in the mid-twentieth century of an activist role as ultimate policymaker in the area of individual rights, a role at odds with the Founders' constitutional design and with representative democracy.
