What The Reviewers Say

Gary J. Bass,
The New York Times Book Review
... in his engrossing procedural of a war crimes trial, Paradis offers a more troubling history than some triumphalist American chronicles of the Doolittle raid.
Daniel Ford,
The Wall Street Journal
... superb.
William D. Bushnell,
Military Officer Magazine
... provacative.
C. C. Lovett,
Choice
This is a tour de force for those interested in military justice and the war crimes trials that followed in the war’s wake..
