In a Time of Total War
«’Kastenberg and Merriam have produced a most impressive study that focuses not only on the Federal Judiciary and national defense, but on the evolving relationship between the Supreme Court Justices and the executive/military establishments. Their work draws on many major manuscript collections, and the result is a fascinating account of the justices' ongoing extra-judicial activities, of whom the worst offender was probably Felix Frankfurter. A must read for students of American legal history and political science.’ Jonathan Lurie, Rutgers University, USA»
This book is a judicial, military and political history of the period 1941 to 1954. As such, it is also a United States legal history of both World War II and the early Cold War. Civil liberties, mass conscription, expanded military jurisdiction, property rights, labor relations, and war crimes arising from the conflict were all issues to come before the federal judiciary during this period and well beyond since the Supreme Court and the lower courts heard appeals from the government’s wartime decisions well into the 1970s.
