Nazi Saboteurs on Trial: A Military Tribunal and American Law (Landmark Law Cases & American Society)
"After 9/11, American civil liberties seem to have entered an Alice-in-Wonderland rabbit hole featuring indefinite detentions and predetermined verdicts - so very similar, as Fisher reminds us, to the wild departures from due process that characterized this famous 1942 case." Robert Justin Goldstein, author of Flag Burning and Free Speech; "Fisher's fascinating and important account of the Supreme Court's decision in Ex parte Quirin reveals how poorly the justices resisted wartime pressures and how badly they failed to protect rights guaranteed by the constitution." Michal R. Belknap, author of The Vietnam War on Trial: The My Lai Massacre and the Court Martial of Lieutenant Calley; "One can only hope that Fisher's compelling account enjoys a wide circulation." Jonathan Lurie, author of Military Justice in America--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
