In 1915, Crowder convinced Congress to increase the size of the Judge Advocate General's Office?the legal arm of the United States Army?from thirteen uniformed attorneys to more than four hundred. Crowder's recruitment of some of the nation's leading legal scholars, as well as former congressmen and state supreme court judges, helped legitimize President Woodrow Wilson's wartime military and legal policies. As the United States entered World War I in 1917, the army numbered about 120,000 soldiers. The Judge Advocate General's Office was instrumental in extending the military's reach into the everyday lives of citizens to enable the construction of an army of more than four million soldiers by the end of the war. Under Crowder's leadership, the office was responsible for the creation and administration of the Selective Service Act, under which thousands of men were drafted into military service, as well as enforcement of the Espionage Act and wartime prohibition. In this first published history of the Judge Advocate General's Office between the years of 1914 and 1922, Joshua Kastenberg examines not only courts-martial, but also the development of the laws of war and the changing nature of civil-military relations. The Judge Advocate General's Office influenced the legislative and judicial branches of the government to permit unparalleled assertions of power, such as control over local policing functions and the economy. Judge advocates also altered the nature of laws to recognize a person's diminished mental health as a defense in criminal trials, influenced the assertion of US law overseas, and affected the evolving nature of the law of war. This groundbreaking study will appeal to scholars, students, and general readers of US history, as well as military, legal, and political historians.   606 $aJudge advocates$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aCivil-military relations$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 615 0$aJudge advocates 615 0$aCivil-military relations$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xLaw and legislation 676 $a343.73/0143 700 $aKastenberg$b Joshua E.$f1967-$0917486 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816848903321 996 $aTo raise and discipline an army$94111961 997 $aUNINA
