I'm one of the co-authors of the book, and my previously published conclusions form its nucleus.
In essence, what it does is to explain the actual, original meaning of this much overused and much abused part of the Constitution. I say "abused" because earlier writers had condemned the Necessary and Proper Clause as inscrutable or meaningless or merely guessed at its meaning without serious investigation. "Overused" because the Supreme Court has allowed Congress to utilize the Clause in ways very different from its role and purpose.
So this book corrects the historical record.
Disclosure: This is an academic book and written as such, and it will appeal mostly to those with special interests in the Constitution and constitutional law.
