Book Synopsis Murder and Martial Justice by : Meredith Lentz Adams
Book excerpt: "This book deals with four murder cases during World War II, for which fifteen German war prisoners held in camps on American soil were sentenced to death, and fourteen hanged. It emphasizes one case that best illustrates how the War Department interpreted, observed, and violated the Geneva Convention of 1929. It also deals with the War Department's consequent diplomatic and public relations problems and with its attempts to control the prison camps"--Introduction.
