Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This compelling book revisits the military trial of General Fitz John Porter, unjustly accused of disobeying orders and cowardice during the American Civil War. Over a century later, the author presents irrefutable evidence exonerating Porter, exposing the political machinations that led to his conviction. The book delves into the complexities of military strategy, obedience, and the flawed decision-making that marred the Union's Second Battle of Bull Run. Drawing parallels with other historical injustices, the author argues that Porter's case highlights the enduring need for due process, the fallibility of military justice, and the devastating consequences of scapegoating. Ultimately, this book offers a powerful exploration of loyalty, honor, and the fragility of justice in times of war.
