This book deals with the politics of injustice during the Korean War in
1952-53. The central theme of the story involves the charges against two Air
Force enlisted men and their commanding officer, Lt. George C. Schreiber. All
three were charged with premeditated murder and conspiracy to commit
premeditated murder. The charges carried the death penalty upon conviction or at
least life in prison as a punishment.
The story is one of how and probably why the charges were brought, and the
outcome of the charges resulting in life changes for all three men and important
changes in the law, by both military and civilian courts and the Congress of the
United States.
The author was a participant as a young Air Force JAG officer.
