Description

The American Revolutionary War was the first "legal" war, where two nations with firm commitments to a common legal tradition faced off. Two hundred legal issues are identified from this time of war, from the supremacy of imperial law, taxation without representation, general writs of assistance, and founding new governments, to searching for gunpowder, defining allegiances, holding military officers to account, and establishing prize courts. For each legal issue identified, the relevant statutes passed or military orders given and the cases tried are discussed. Some trials are well known, other are not, while others simply have been forgotten but all are tied together here to create a legal overview of this conflict. The legal personalities behind the issues, laws, and cases are also presented. Exactly 274 lawyers and judges from the principal countries in this conflict, primarily America and Britain, are brought to life. Some were famous as current or future national leaders, others were relatively unknown then and now, and some gave their lives in service, often at a young age. These people, of differing nationalities, cultures, training, and roles, present a compelling human backdrop to understanding the legal story of the war.In addition to presenting the story behind these legal issues from across the globe, the book provides practical assistance by looking to the commonality of many issues across the major global wars with American involvement. Some of the issues presented and precedents set are useful in understanding and resolving current and future conflicts. This book has something for all types of readers: lawyers, judges, law students, fans of history or the history of war, and the general reader.
