John
Fabian Witt. Lincoln’s Code : the laws of war in American history.
Free Press, 2012. KF7210.W58
2012 In
the fateful closing days of 1862, three weeks before Emancipation, the
administration of Abraham Lincoln commissioned a code setting forth the laws
of war for the armies of the United States. The code announced standards of
civilized conduct in wartime concerning issues such as torture, prisoners of
war, civilians, spies, and slaves. The code Lincoln approved ultimately
shaped the course of the Civil War. Witt’s engrossing exploration of the
dilemmas at the heart of the laws of war is a prehistory of our own era. Lincoln’s
Code is the haunting and inspiring story of an idea in American history:
the idea that conduct in war can be regulated by law. Holly
J. McCammon. The U.S. women's jury movements and strategic adaptation : a
more just verdict. Cambridge University Press, 2012. KF8977.M33 2012 When
women won the vote in the United States in 1920 they were still routinely
barred from serving as jurors, but some began vigorous campaigns for a place
in the jury box. This book tells the story of how women mobilized in fifteen
states to change jury laws so that women could gain this additional right of
citizenship. A comparison of the more strategic women's jury movements with
those that were less strategic shows that the former built coalitions with
other women's groups, took advantage of political opportunities, and had past
experience in seeking legal reforms. |
