Lincoln’s Code: The Laws of War in American History

byJohn Fabian Witt

Lincoln’s Code examines the Laws of War in American History, combining John Fabian Witt's clear narrative with the perspective of a biographical portrait. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
