Book Description
A Civil War-era treatise addressing the power of governments in moments of emergency The last work of Abraham Lincoln’s law of war expert Francis Lieber was long considered lost—until Will Smiley and John Fabian Witt discovered it in the National Archives. Lieber’s manuscript on emergency powers and martial law addresses important contemporary debates in law and political philosophy and stands as a significant historical discovery. As a key legal advisor to the Lincoln White House, Columbia College professor Francis Lieber was one of the architects and defenders of Lincoln’s most famous uses of emergency powers during the Civil War. Lieber’s work laid the foundation for rules now accepted worldwide. In the years after the war, Lieber and his son turned their attention to the question of emergency powers. The Liebers’ treatise addresses a vital question, as prominent since 9/11 as it was in Lieber’s lifetime: how much power should the government have in a crisis? The Liebers present a theory that aims to preserve legal restraint, while giving the executive necessary freedom of action. Smiley and Witt have written a lucid introduction that explains how this manuscript is a key discovery in two ways: both as a historical document and as an important contribution to the current debate over emergency powers in constitutional democracies.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Treatise on Military Law and the Practice of Courts-Martial Within the past few years, more has been done to fix disputed and doubtful points in the practice Of our military tribunals, than during any former period in our military history. F or this progressive movement, we are mainly indebted to the able decisions, while reviewing the proceedings Of courts-martial, that have issued from the War Department since the establish ment of the office of Judge Advocate of the Army and to the many elaborate Opinions by the Attorneys General, on points of law requiring legal interpretation. These decisions and opiu ions, presenting, as they do, authoritative information of nu usual interest to the army at large and not generally accessible, first suggested the preparation of a work in which they might be embodied. The suggestion lost none of its force, in view Of the fact, that for the instruction of the Cadets of the Military Academy in the practice of courts-martial, this most essential information was not to be found in their text-book. This volume has been the result of much careful investiga tion, and the hope is entertained that it may contribute a use ful link in the chain of our military jurisprudence. TO the Judge Advocate Of the Army, I am indebted, for furnishing me the information I had occasion to seek in the records of the War Department.
