A Peculiar Crusade by James J. Weingartner

A detailed examination of Willis M. Everett, the Malmedy Massacre trial and the difficult questions of evidence, accountability and justice that followed the Second World War.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine interest in history, politics and difficult questions of responsibility and justice. He was drawn to books that examined conflicting evidence and the arguments that continued long after the original events had ended. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by James J. Weingartner, A Peculiar Crusade: Willis M. Everett and the Malmedy Massacre Trial examines the legal and political aftermath of the killing of American prisoners of war during the Battle of the Bulge.

Rather than concentrating only on the massacre itself, the book focuses on Willis M. Everett and the controversy surrounding the military proceedings, including questions about evidence, due process, responsibility and the conduct of the trials.

A thought-provoking study for readers interested in Second World War history, military justice, war crimes and the legal consequences of conflict.
