A Peculiar Crusade: Willis M. Everett and the Malmedy Massacre
"Raises a number of compelling issues and makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the difficulties of war crimes trials, the problems of dealing with the legacy of Nazism, and the vagaries of politics during the emerging Cold War and Civil Rights era. The book stands as a wonderful example of the complexities of life, the tension of competing motivations, and the law of unintended consequences."-Stephen G. Fritz,author ofFrontsoldaten: The German Soldier in World War II"A Peculiar Crusade is good history, well written by a pro. It is based on long and hard research in the best primary documents, backed up by oral interviews. It addresses the virulent racism of Hitler's Germany and the ingrained racial prejudices and anti-Semitism of the American South squarely and without emotion or bias. I enjoyed reading it and I learned a lot."-Tom Collier,University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
