Yamashita's Ghost
Japanese general Tomoyuki Yamashita was tried for war crimes by a U.S. Army military commission, found guilty, and hanged on February 23, 1946. Of the many trials conducted by the United States of alleged Axis war criminals following World War II, Yamashita's may have been the most problematic. Yamashita was in partial command of Japanese forces in the Philippine Islands when American troops under Gen. Douglas MacArthur came ashore in October 194…
Americans, Germans, and War Crimes Justice
This ground-breaking comparative perspective on the subject of World War II war crimes and war justice focuses on American and German atrocities. Almost every war involves loss of life of both military personnel and civilians, but World War II involved an unprecedented example of state-directed and ideologically motivated genocide―the Holocaust. Beyond this horrific, premeditated war crime perpetrated on a massive scale, there were also isolated …
Americans, Germans, and War Crimes
All nations participating in World War II were guilty of war crimes, although that recognition is subject to important qualification. German genocide as the supreme wartime offense, Japanese mass murders of Chinese, the slaughter of Polish officers by the Soviet Union—the list is hardly complete, and some would argue for the inclusion of indiscriminate bombing of cities—are distinct from the smaller-scale and more spontaneous atrocities that were…
Military Justice in Vietnam
The Vietnam War is seared into the American memory as a catastrophe of U.S. military and foreign policy. Among the most painful impressions of America's Vietnam experience are images of U.S. soldiers who had seemingly thrown off the restraints of law and discipline, using drugs, “fragging” superiors, and murdering large numbers of Vietnamese civilians. The purpose of this compact monograph is to describe and evaluate the responses of the U.S. mil…

Law and Justice in the Nazi SS
The role of law in the totalitarian state is problematic. In principle, law and unfettered political authority are antithetical but, in practice, the two have coexisted in uneasy and unequal partnership. As the Third Reich neared its apex in terms of internal and external power, a German expatriate described it as a “dual state” in which law existed side-by-side with the dynamic, ideologically charged will of the Führer. Duality did not imply bal…

Sepp Dietrich, Heinrich Himmler, and the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler , 1933–1938
For Adolf Hitler the problem of constructing a loyal and reliable instrument of force for employment not only against external enemies but also for intra-party discipline was a frequently recurring one. In the summer of 1921 what was to become the Sturm Abteilungen (Storm Troops, “SA”) had its genesis under the camouflage of so-called “gymnastic societies.” The SA, however, soon developed into a mass organization with an internal dynamism of its …
