If you are really interested in the history of civil liberties in wartime, I recommend All The Laws But One, by US Chief Justice William Rehnquist. pbs.org One of the interesting subtexts of the Ex Parte Merryman case is that it was issued by Chief Justice Taney, who also wrote the opinion in the Dred Scott decision. Lincoln didn't think highly of Taney, and I concur. Civil liberties don't exist in a vacuum, they exist in context.
