During the two decades following entry into World War II, nearly 30
million men and women served in or worked for the United States
military. Tens of thousands faced a general court-martial under the
Articles of War, which prescribed either life in prison or death
for crimes of murder, rape or desertion. Only 160 men were
sentenced to death and executed-159 for murder or rape (or a
combination of the two), and one for desertion. The manner of death
was by firing squad or by hanging. These dishonored servicemen were
buried in various locations around the world. Later, nearly all
were moved to grave sites in military cemeteries, segregated from
those who died honorably. This book tells the stories of the men,
their crimes and their executions.
