Riassunto:

UNION TERROR IS A CUTTING-EDGE BOOK FOR OUR DAY. Drawing from his vast real-world background as the senior legal advisor for the U.S. Army Special Forces, Professor Addicott not only pulls back the curtain on the Union’s command approved use of terror tactics against Southern civilians during the American Civil War, he also persuasively rebuts all the fallacious justifications proffered to excuse the widespread war-crimes committed by the chief purveyor, William T. Sherman.

In this he has done us all – educators, the military, and the wider public – a great service in detailing the necessity to apply these key historical lessons so that such despicable violations of the rule of law are never repeated.

Jeffrey F. Addicott is a Professor of Law and the Director of the Warrior Defense Project at St. Mary’s University School of Law, San Antonio, Texas, where he teaches a variety of courses to include National Security Law and Terrorism Law. An active duty Army officer in the Judge Advocate General's Corps for twenty years (he retired in 2000 at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel), Professor Addicott spent a quarter of his career as the senior legal advisor to the United States Army’s Special Forces. An internationally recognized authority in terrorism law and the law of war, Professor Addicott not only lectures and participates in professional and academic organizations both in the United States and overseas; he is also a frequent contributor to national and international media outlets.
