Résumé ou extrait
  • "Drawing directly from the tribunal's long-neglected transcripts, Ryan ... chronicles this tragic tale and its personalities. His ... analysis of the case's lingering question -- should a commander be held accountable for the crimes of his troops, even if he has no knowledge of them -- has profound implications for all military commanders."
