Executive Privilege, A Constitutional Myth.
Berger, Raoul. Executive Privilege: A Constitutional Myth. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1974. xiv. 430 pp. Publisher's black cloth in lightly worn dust jacket. Very good. $20. * Challenges the historical bases of modern claims of executive privilege and cites the dangers of executive secrecy. "It is Berger's thesis that executive privilege and the arguments adduced in its support are pernicious nonsense. Bristling with indignation at what he regards as shoddy and slapdash misinterpretations and even misstatements of the historical evidence bearing upon the Framers' intent by exponents of the privilege, Berger devotes the major portion of this book to a reexamination of the historical data he regards as pertinent to this issue.": 50 Indiana Law Journal 195 (1974).
