  In 1947 German Field Marshal Albert Kesselring was tried and convicted of war crimes committed during World War II. The author's close analysis of the Kesselring case reveals how a network of veterans, lawyers, and German sympathizers in Britain and America achieved the commutation of Kesselring's death sentence and his eventual release.
