- Summary:
- Lurie tells the story of how Congress finally created a civilian appellate court, the Court of Military Appeals, to sit at the top of this military justice system. Why it chose to do so in 1950, with the enactment of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, rather than at an earlier date, is a central theme of his book.
