1 edition published in 2000 in English and held by 32 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The Vietnam War was fought not only in Asia, but also in America. One of the biggest shocks was the realization that American soldiers, and not just distant enemies, were capable of war crimes. The court-martial of a young platoon leader accused of murdering Vietnamese civilians brought a confused nation face to face with this devastating fact. This documentary includes commentary by soldiers in Calley's platoon, archival footage of the atrocities and his court-martial trial

In October 1959, Secretary of the Army Wilber M. Brucker appointed a committee of senior officers to study the administration of military justice in the Army. The committee, which was chaired by LTG Herbert B. Powell, was tasked to: study the effectiveness of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) on discipline within the Army; analyze any inequities or injustices accruing to the Government or to individuals from the application of the Code and judicial decisions stemming therefrom; and consider legislative or other improvements to the Code. The committee's report, which is commonly known as the Powell report, was approved by Secretary Brucker in October 1960. Many of the recommendations of this report regarding the authority of military judges and The Judge Advocate General in courts-martial proceedings and reviews were subsequently adopted by the Army

US Army) remembers his astonishment at the Japanese squadrons flying over his family's Hawaiian home on their way to Pearl Harbor. Senator Bob Dole (Lt. US Army) tells of a Kansas boy from his hometown who never returned from the Bataan Death March. These and other stories trace the first 1,00 days of WWII including Hitler's rise to power; the attack on Pearl Harbor; the internment of Japanese-Americans; the fall of Guam, Wake Island and the Philippines; Major Doolittle's daring raid on Tokyo; and America's victories at the Battle of Midway and Guadalcanal. v.2: Actor Eli Wallach (Capt.

These and other stories look back at 1943 when the Allies took North Africa and Sicily and the US captured the Solomon Islands. Bougainville and Tarawa. While a mighty citizen's army went off to do battle, American women took to the front-lines of the industrial war-effort, and everyone on the homefront chipped in: rationing gasoline, growing victory gardens, and buying war bonds
