Bishop, Joseph W. Justice Under Fire: A Study of Military Law. New York: Charterhouse, [1974]. xvi, 315 pp. Publisher's black cloth with gilt stamped spine, fine in near fine dust jacket. Internally clean. $15. * An analysis of the United States military justice system, tracking its legal evolution, constitutional boundaries, and operational implementation during periods of armed conflict. The text engages in a rigorous assessment of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and investigates the complex dynamics of jurisdiction over both service members and civilians. Specific thematic focus is directed toward court-martial structures, the legal parameters of command influence, and the historical friction between civilian constitutional protections and military necessity. Landmark judicial precedents, wartime tribunals, and the administrative responsibilities of military commanders are heavily documented to evaluate the equity and efficacy of martial jurisprudence within the broader framework of American federal law.
