3.0 out of 5 stars
Not what I expected,

This review is from: Lichfield (The U.S. Army on Trial) (Perfect Paperback)
While a very interesting account of the Lichfield scandal, I had hoped for a more historical perspective vs. the lengthy trial information. It became very tedious and I actually skipped over many pages.
The book would have been improved, in my opinion, by interjecting more information about how the military rank and file was reacting to the trial(which was covered extensively in The Stars and Stripes at the time - including opinion polls), more info on the victims and perpetrators, and less focus on the trial and the big shots involved.I would find myself getting interested when the book ventured into other areas out of the courtroom, only to be dragged back, unsatisfied. It also would have been a fine time to examine military justice in the combat theatres during WWII, a subject that has had very superficial coverage. |
