For your military justice bookshelf

Capt. Michael Junge, USN
Writing in his personal capacity, Captain Michael Junge has an important and fascinating book out: Crimes of Command in the United States Navy 1945-2015. The book "illuminates the Navy's changed understanding of responsibility, accountability, and culpability from the end of World War II through today." It examines a broad swath of cases, some of which are well-known, others less so. They include the loss of USS Indianapolis, the USS Belknap's collision, and the aftermath of the attack on USS Cole, among others. Important reading for line officers as well as judge advocates.
