Habeas Corpus in Wartime
A Robbins Collection Event Co-hosted by Amanda Tyler and Laurent Mayali
Habeas Corpus in Wartime: From the Tower of London to Guantanamo Bay by Amanda Tyler unearths and presents a comprehensive account of the legal and political history of habeas corpus in wartime in the Anglo-American legal tradition. The book begins by tracing the origins of the habeas privilege in English law, giving special attention to the English Habeas Corpus Act of 1679, which limited the scope of executive detention and used the machinery of the English courts to enforce its terms. It also explores the circumstances that led Parliament to invent the concept of suspension as a tool for setting aside the protections of the Habeas Corpus Act in wartime.
