The Confederacy on Trial: The Piracy and Sequestration Cases of 1861
ISBN: 9780700613861 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the annals of Civil War history, one overarching dispute remains unsettled: was the United States waging war against another nation or putting down an internal rebellion? In October 1861 three legal battles put this question to the test. As Mark Weitz reveals, these proceedings were instrumental in debating and ultimately shaping the Confederacy's very identity. Weitz takes readers to courtrooms in Philadelphia and New York, where Confederate sailors caught raiding Union vessels were tried for the capital crime of piracy. Their defense argued that they were not pirates at all but...

The Sleepy Lagoon Murder Case: Race Discrimination and Mexican-American Rights
ISBN: 9780700617463 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What began as a neighborhood party during the summer of 1942 led to the largest mass murder trial in California's history. After young Jose Diaz was found murdered near Los Angeles' Sleepy Lagoon reservoir, 600 Mexican Americans were rounded up by the police, 24 were indicted, and 17 were convicted. But thanks to the efforts of crusading lawyers, Hollywood celebrities, and Mexican Americans throughout the nation, all 17 convictions were thrown out in an appellate decision that cited lack of evidence, coerced testimony, deprivation of the right to counsel, and judicial misconduct. Mark...

Clergy Malpractice in America: Nally V. Grace Community Church of the Valley
ISBN: 9780700611263 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Can faith-based counselors be held to the same standard of legal accountability as secular ones? Or does the broad shield of religious freedom protect them absolutely, no matter how incompetent or negligent their actions might be? After Kenneth Nally put a shotgun to his head and pulled the trigger in early 1979, finding the right answers to those questions became both much more urgent and much more difficult. Mark Weitz shows why. Following his suicide, Nally's parents filed a wrongful death suit against their son's fundamentalist church, alleging that its pastoral counselors had failed...

More Damning Than Slaughter: Desertion in the Confederate Army
ISBN: 9780803220805 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. More Damning than Slaughter is the first broad study of desertion in the Confederate army. Incorporating extensive archival research with a synthesis of other secondary material, Mark A. Weitz confronts a question never fully addressed until now: did desertion hurt the Confederacy? Coupled with problems such as speculation, food and clothing shortages, conscription, taxation, and a pervasive focus on the protection of local interests, desertion started as a military problem and spilled over into the civilian world. Fostered by a military culture that treated absenteeism leniently early in the...

A Higher Duty: Desertion Among Georgia Troops During the Civil War
ISBN: 9780803298552 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book addresses the most important issues associated with Confederate desertion. How many soldiers actually deserted, when did they desert, and why? What does Confederate desertion say about Confederate nationalism and the war effort? Mark A. Weitz has taken his argument beyond the obvious reasons for desertion-that war is a horrific and cruel experience-and examined the emotional and psychological reasons that might induce a soldier to desert. Just as loyalty to his fellow soldiers might influence a man to charge into a hail of lead, loyalty to his wife and family could also lead him to...
