Full Description
The Second World War generated a whole new set of legal issues that were addressed by a new generation of laws, cases, and legal personalities. More well-known for the heroics and perseverance of the "Greatest Generation," the story of the legal side of the war is now told in a new and compelling book. In it, you'll find fifty-two compelling legal issues including: * Subverting the judiciary and creating a divine military * Economic and social issues * Genocide and nuclear weapons, and more! For every legal issue identified, the laws passed and the cases tried to address these legal issues are discussed, and the legal personalities behind the issues, laws, and cases are presented. This eye-opening book has something for everyone-lawyer, history buff, or general reader.
