Some are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an \u003cstrong\u003eactor\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003escriptwriter\u003c\/strong\u003e, and someone endlessly drawn to political history, moral conflict, and the complicated stories most people overlook. This is very much one of those books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 14px 0;\"\u003eWritten by \u003cstrong\u003eJames J. Weingartner\u003c\/strong\u003e, this book examines the aftermath of the Malmedy Massacre during World War II, where members of the Waffen SS were accused of murdering American prisoners of war during the Battle of the Bulge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 14px 0;\"\u003eRather than simply retelling the case itself, the book focuses heavily on lawyer Willis M. Everett and the growing controversy surrounding the trial, the interrogation methods used, military justice, political pressure, and the uncomfortable ethical questions that followed in post war America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 14px 0;\"\u003eDetailed, intelligent, and often deeply uncomfortable reading in places, this is the sort of historical book Dad loved collecting.
