Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the infamous court-martial of Captain A.M. Robertson, who was brought to trial in 1862 on charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. The charges stemmed from an altercation with Colonel Dickson at the Army and Navy Club in London, in which Robertson was subjected to a torrent of insults and threats. Robertson's subsequent failure to pursue the matter in accordance with Article 17 of the Articles of War, or to press charges against his assailant, led to the martial proceedings. The case was significant in the history of military discipline, as it highlighted the complexities and contradictions within the British military code of honor. The author meticulously pieces together the events leading to the trial, presenting a detailed account of the proceedings, witness testimonies, and legal arguments. Along the way, the book delves into the broader social and cultural context of the British Army in the mid-19th century, shedding light on the tensions between personal honor and military protocol that shaped the lives of officers at that time. Ultimately, this book offers a fascinating exploration of the complexities of honor, duty, and the limits of military justice within the British military system.
