  In 1942, eight Germans landed on US shores bent on sabotage. Louis Fisher chronicles their capture, trial, and punishment in order to examine the extent to which procedural rights are suspended in time of war. He analyzes the Supreme Court decision Ex parte Quirin (1942), reconstructing the rush to judgment.
