Summary: |
"A few hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Territory of Hawaii was placed under martial law. The Commanding General proclaimed himself 'military governor' and assumed all executive and legislative powers. Civil courts were suppressed as Army personnel moved in and took over the courtrooms, meting out penalties to civilians without regard for the limitations of law and for offenses unrelated to military security..." "Martial law was necessary on December 7 and immediately thereafter. But when the military tries to impose on a people a system that had no legal basis, the control of civilians under a dictatorship... then the American people should know about it. They have the opportunity to learn about it now in this book."--Gregg M. Sinclair, emeritus president of the University of Hawaii. CLICK THE "MORE IMAGES" LINK ABOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TITLE |
