The Supreme Court has weighed in on the topic with some controversial and deeply divided decisions, most recently Hamdan v. Rumsfeld. At this critical moment in time, Extraordinary Justice seeks to fill an important gap in our understanding of what military tribunals are, how they function, and how successful they are in administering justice by placing them in comparative and historical context. Peter Judson Richards examines tribunals in four modern conflicts: the American Civil War, the British experience in the Boer War, the French tribunals of the ?Great War,? and Allied practices during the Second World War.Richards also examines the larger context of specific political, legal and military concerns, addressing scholarly and policy debates that continually arise in connection with the implementation of these extraordinary measures. He concludes that while the record of the national tribunals has been mixed, enduring elements in the character of warfare, of justice, and the nature of political reality together justify their continued use in certain situations. 606 $aCourts-martial and courts of inquiry 606 $aMilitary courts 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aExtraordinary. 610 $aadministering. 610 $aare. 610 $acomparative. 610 $acontext. 610 $acritical. 610 $afill. 610 $afunction. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $aimportant. 610 $ajustice. 610 $amilitary. 610 $amoment. 610 $aplacing. 610 $aseeks. 610 $asuccessful. 610 $athem. 610 $athey. 610 $athis. 610 $atime. 610 $atribunals. 610 $aunderstanding. 610 $awhat. 615 0$aCourts-martial and courts of inquiry. 615 0$aMilitary courts. 676 $a343/.0143 700 $aRichards$b Peter Judson$01570937 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788517003321 996 $aExtraordinary Justice$93844922 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
