A Summary of the Case of General Fitz-John Porter examines the controversial court martial of Union General Fitz-John Porter following the Second Battle of Bull Run in 1862. Theodore A. Lord presents a detailed overview of the evidence and arguments surrounding the charges of disobedience and misconduct that led to Porter's dismissal from the Union Army. This work offers insights into the complex political and military dynamics of the Civil War era and the legal proceedings that shaped Porter's career and legacy.
This summary provides an accessible entry point for understanding one of the most debated cases in American military history, exploring themes of duty, command, and justice during a time of national crisis. Students and researchers of the Civil War will find this book invaluable for its clear exposition of the facts and its contribution to the ongoing discussion of Porter's guilt or innocence.
