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
