The Execution of Private Slovik

摘要

Huie provides a thought-provoking read, one that unearths a significant event in American history allowing for policy makers, military leaders, and American citizens to debate the merit, morality, and necessity of capital punishment. Judge advocates and students of military history would be well served in undertaking a reading of this book, as it provides a detailed accounting of an obscure, yet important, event in the history of the U.S. military and the practice of criminal law within the military system.
